Police shut down Shina Peters show in US
Sept. 06, 2010 (www.africanexaminer.com)
    Afro Juju Creator, Sir
    Shina Peters was closed to
    tears over the weekend as
    Prince Georges County
    police officers shut down
    his show at the Royal
    Prestige Hall, Largo in the
    state of Maryland, USA.

    Trouble started at around
    2 am, an hour after he had
    started performing, when
    large numbers of PG
    police officers  stormed the
    venue requesting from the
    organizers the liquor
    license for the event.

The organizers who had already started selling alcoholic
beverages at the time could not produce the license claiming
they didn’t know they needed one.

Following inability to produce the liquor license, the police said
they had no option other than to shut down the venue.

They dispersed everyone in the Hall, and within minutes the hall
became empty. SSP's fans were outraged at the turn of events
threatening to sue the organizers of the show.

However, Sir shina Peters is expected to stage more shows
before he departs the state of Maryland. African Examiner
gathered that the show that was shut down was a sold out.

Well it's a sorry case for the afro juju creator. Nevertheless, it's a
shame for the organiser on their illegal show. Or they are
ignorant of what it takes to launch alcoholic beverage without a
liquor permit in such a state. SHAME!

law, my brodas or sisters organisers

It is good and an eye opener, it is not Nigeria any thing goes. Let

subject = Police shut down Shina Peters show in US
comments = Very unfortunate bro Peter. Can we translate this
just act to our society where people respect law not where law
respects people. Your personality means nothing once you
disobeys the law. Hope u will learn.
