Bentum told Pulse.com.gh he met the man over the Christmas and New Year holiday and he had since been in the area.
Bentum was promoting his New Year party to people in the area and came across Simpson-Kent and told him about the programme around December 28.
“He was a bit down, he was not happy and did not look happy. Like he had a lot on his mind. He didn’t even pay attention to what I was saying.”
Bentum did not know who the man was at that stage.
“I was just talking to him, trying to promote my programme.”

“I saw the Ghana police driving with him around Busua.”
Receptionist of Dadson's Lodge in Busua Winfred Amoah confirmed to Pulse Simpson-Kent was staying at the lodge from December 28. However he gave the name Danquah Paul Kofi when he signed in.
