Graphic Showbiz

"Kiki's case is more serious" , says the lead story of the Graphic Showbiz . According to the story, Keyboard genius Kiki Gyan, his body and brains now ravaged by heroin, says after seeing himself through the Graphic Showhiz last week, he has now developed the willpower to quit hard drugs.

However a specialist at the Psychiatric Hospital in Accra, where Kiki spent some six continuos months last year, said what Kiki needs is not willpower, but serious medical attention, the paper said.

The paper said Kiki volunteered this interview after a friend had shown him a copy of last week's edition of the paper which chronicled the deplorable depths he has fallen into from his once enviable heights of riches and fame.

"I am very disappointed in myself and my sister is very sad with the exposure so I have resolved as my new year's vow never to engage in drugs again", the paper quoted Kiki, who by his own diligent counts has quit the habit on more than 10 occasion, as saying.

By his own account to the paper he spent an average of 70,000 cedis a day on drugs.
