Ninjaman let out of jail to perform

Ninja Man

CONTROVERSIAL DANCEHALL DJ Ninjaman will be making his first public stage appearance since being imprisoned over a year ago, when he performs on 'Swing Spring 2000' at Fort Clarence Beach on Sunday, June 4.

Ninja will be joining some of the giants of the genre, including the Shocking Vibes Crew, Josey Wales, Beres Hammond, Richie Stephens, Lexxus and Luciano, when he appears on the Josey Wales/Money Cologne promotion.

Ninjaman is still serving a one-year sentence on a gun charge at the Tower Street Correctional Centre (General Penitentiary), which ends in July. However, on Wednesday, May 24 he was granted bail, of $500,000 in the Supreme Court, King Street, on the pending charges of murder and illegal possession of a firearm.

The murder charge is in connection with the slaying of 46-year-old taxidriver, Anthony White, who was shot dead on Waltham Park Road, Kingston, on March 5, 1999. The case has been called up on a number of occasions in the St. Andrew Resident Magistrate's Court, but has been unable to proceed for one reason or another.

However, under a prison rehabilitation programme, he will be allowed to perform at Fort Clarence. B.H
