Ghanaian musician and social media personality Sam Sarfo Junior, widely known as Showboy, has been arrested by the Ghana Police Service following a tense standoff with officers from the Criminal Investigations Department (CID). Videos shared on social media show the artist resisting efforts by police to detain him at his home while he was live on TikTok, demanding that officers present a valid warrant before any arrest could take place.
The standoff occurred when CID officers attempted to take Showboy into custody over allegations that have not been officially confirmed by the police. Some reports suggest the arrest stemmed from claims related to the alleged publication of false news, but details remain unclear as no formal statement has been issued by the Ghana Police Service.
In the viral video clips, Showboy can be seen questioning the legal authority of the officers, insisting that without a court warrant he would not comply. After resisting the initial attempt, subsequent footage and posts indicate he was eventually placed in custody as the confrontation drew widespread public attention.
Reactions from the public have been mixed, with some viewers criticizing the police for their methods and others calling for law enforcement to carry out their duties within legal boundaries. As of now, no official charges against Showboy have been confirmed publicly, and the exact reason for the arrest has not been clarified by authorities.
