According to peacefmonline sources, after he tried to enter  for the first time and he was stopped, Bull Dog who is also a staff of  Charter House, (organizers of the event), tried to explain to the  officer that, he is part of the organizers, but the National Security  Officer who obviously was not ready to listen to him, hit Bull Dog and  shoved him away.<br \/>\nBull Dog in retaliation kicked the officer in  his leg; tempers flared and the officer allegedly pulled out a fully  loaded pistol and threatened to shoot Bull Dog if he makes any attempt  to come close to him.<br \/>\nMr. Lawrence Asiamah a.k.a. Bull Dog  confirmed the incident in an interview with peacefmonline.com. He said  before the unfortunate episode occurred, he had walked in and out of the  auditorium several times, yet the officer claimed he didn\u2019t know him.<br \/>\nAccording  to him, after the officer pulled the gun and pointed it in his face; he  (the officer) again threatened that he would drag him to the castle or  lock him up somewhere if he (Bull Dog) challenges him. Bull Dog said had  it not been for the timely intervention of his bosses and other  colleagues from Charter House, something very unpleasant would have  happened, because he was very upset at the time and could have done  anything to defend himself.<br \/>\nBull Dog who is still nursing a cut  he sustained from the officer\u2019s punch, is a Senior Graphic Designer with  Charter House. He has managed and produced artistes like:  5Five, Nii  among others. Currently, he is the producer and manager of  Reggae\/Dancehall artiste Iwan, under his record label Bull Haus  Entertainment.<br \/>\nThe renowned artiste producer was not the only  one who suffered at the hands of the security officials on the night of  &#8220;Ghana Rocks&#8221;.<br \/>\nFennec Okyere who is the manager for the Dome,  the Venue where the event took place, had a similar incident with an  officer which almost resulted in a boxing bout. Fennec expressed his  displeasure, when peacefmonline spoke to him. He vowed that as operators  of the Dome, he will ensure that organizers who use his venue do not  employ the services of such unprofessional security officers.<br \/>\nFred  Nuamah Organiser of Ghana Movie Awards, Edward Boateng  peacefmonline.com photographer, and many others were also given a hard  time at the entrance.<br \/>\nSecurity seems to be a major problem lately during Charter House events.<br \/>\nSimilar  incidents happened at the same venue during last year\u2019s Ghana Movie  Awards, when a foreign security officer &#8216;imported&#8217; from Togo, slapped  hi-life singer King David who had been nominated for an award on the  night.<br \/>\nPeacefmonline is watching keenly to see what Charter  House will do to improve security at their next event to protect the  country&#8217;s celebrities and event patrons.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the security detail at the \u201cGhana Rocks\u201d musical show which took place in the Dome, at the Accra International Conference Centre over the Christmas holidays, is reported to have pulled a gun during the event on Monday December 27, 2010.
