The waiter would have none of that as he waited for the money. Abeiku  then got up to search his pockets some more and that drew the attention  of other clients who were busily shoving morsels of fufu down their  throats.<br \/>\nAlready, Abeiku is a well known face and his presence  at restaurant had caused a stir, thus the embarrassing situation  attracted more observers as he searched his pockets, with the waiter  standing close by. The journalist finally managed to get an amount of  GH\u00a22 from his pockets but the amount was way too little to pay for a  single\u2019s persons food. The situation got more embarrassing as more  people started to realize what was going on and some even started to  pass comments.<br \/>\nOne person suggested jokingly that the waiter  should make Abeiku pound fufu or wash dishes to compensate the amount of  food he had eaten. Eventually, a gentleman, who News-One got his name  as Selorm and is said to be a friend of Abeiku, came to his rescue and  footed the bill. Abeiku explained that he had money in his wallet but  could not remember where exactly he left it. \u201cI believe it would be in  my car or somewhere but I am surprised\u201d, he told News-One.<br \/>\nHe  eventually left the restaurant a free man and entered his black coloured  Toyota Prado. Abeiku has a huge following on radio. He takes the  airwaves by storm from 2 to 6pm on Okay 101 FM every weekday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Persons who had gone to the popular Heavy-Do Chop bar in Accra could not believe their eyes last Wednesday afternoon when celebrated broadcast journalist Abeiku Santana was \u2018detained\u2019 because he did not have money to pay for several bowls of fufu he had consumed with friends.
