Ghanian and former Leicester City player JohnPaintsil Locked In His Hummer jeep

The Ghanian player, and former Leicester City player
John Paintsil on Monday afternoon experienced an
embarrassing moment when he failed to get the
engine of his flashy Hummer car started in a crowded
market in Kumasi.
The player was in the car, registered JP 4-09, with his
male friend in the passenger seat and two gorgeous
ladies at the back. Paintsil tried starting the engine of
the car, but he somewhat got some figures wrong,
resulting in the complex car's engine being jammed.
The embarrassing incident occurred right in front of
Melcom Stores at Adum, the commercial nerve
center of Kumasi at 1:00pm. Hundreds of people that
were trading at the area left their products and
rushed to the scene to catch a glimpse of the
'disaster' that had befallen the national star.
The huge crowd at the scene caused vehicular traffic
which affected business in the city on the day.
Paintsil was among the football stars and musicians
that had stormed Kumasi the previous day to play a
charity game at the Baba Yara stadium.
The soccer stars and musicians had visited the
Melcom Stores at Adum as part of activities marking
the charity game. Sources at the scene told DAILY
GUIDE SPORTS that they saw a different person
driving the car when the stars arrived.
According to them, when news got round town that
the stars had visited the area, several people quickly
besieged the place to see them.
An eye witness said perhaps the player wanted to
show off, hence his decision to drive the car this time
around. However, Paintsil, who was evidently
uncomfortable behind the wheels, committed a
blunder and got the car locked up.
Unfortunately, since the player's car was parked just
right in the middle of a busy road, its inability to
move caused massive vehicular traffic in the area.
Paintsil, who was seen sweating profusely behind the
wheels, tried several times to get the car's engine
started but to no avail.
In the end, it took the intervention of some people at
the scene who volunteered to push the heavy car to
shoulder of the road.
Whilst some of the curious people that thronged the
place tried to offer a helping hand to the distraught
player, others who sounded envious of the flashy cars
on parade by the stars were seen casting
insinuations on Paintsil.
They argued that from all indications Paintsil did not
know how to drive the car but he tried doing so when
he saw the huge crowd, but committed a mistake in
the end.
Later on, Togolese international Emmanuel Adebayor,
who was part of the team, left his car and came to
the scene, perhaps to console Paintsil who was still
seated in the Hummer car.
Adebayor then took Paintsil, his male friend and the
two beautiful ladies to his (Adebayor) car and they
sped off.
