Police are on a manhunt for Dancehall Artiste Shatta Wale after speculations that he was shot by some unknown gunmen at East Legon on Monday, October 18, 2021.
Shatta Wale’s Personal Assistant Nana Dope claimed that Shatta Wale had been shot and was being treated at an Emergency Unit of a health facility in Accra.
In a WhatsApp post, Dope said Shatta was shot and was responding to treatment.
The issue went viral and created panic on social media and led to the Police issuing a statement on the matter.
In a statement on social media, the Police said they had been unsuccessful in their attempts to locate the Artiste, who celebrated his birthday on Sunday, October 17, 2021.
They wrote, “the attention of the Police had been drawn to the widely circulated news on the alleged gunshot-attack on one Charles Nii Armah Mensah popularly known as Shatta Wale.
The Police are currently investigating the matter.”
Superintendent Alexander Obeng urged all Ghanaians to help in the search for Shatta Wale so that they could get to the bottom of the issue.
Meanwhile, Shatta has responded to the issue in a Facebook post, apologizing to his fans and people who had been affected by what he described as a prank or publicity stunt.
He said he took the phones of the team members and made the fake post.
He also made reference to the prophecy that was made by a man of God recently that he would be shot dead on October 18, 2021.
According to him, the prophecy made him traumatised and violent since no one cared, not even the Police.
Below is his full post on his Facebook page
THIS IS WHAT I HAVE TO SAY.
Psychological, or emotional trauma, is damage or injury to the psyche after living through an extremely frightening or distressing event and may result in challenges in functioning or coping normally after the event.
The statement made by this false prophet has gotten me in a mood of violence since no one in this country cares.
So the police of this country want to tell me none of them saw those threatening statements online to take Action?
This pastor said on the 18th October, Shatta Wale will be shot and you want to tell me you didn’t see from your cybercrime department nor did u hear or came across anything like that online?
I won’t wait for Ghana police to call my father and tell my father, his son got shot this afternoon, I won’t wait for Ghana stupid media houses to spread the news to my fans about me being shot because all we wish in this country is for dead people and funerals.
If my life can be threatened and there is no law to take action on that then I guess, I will do what is right in the eyes of God.
This is not the first time I have had these threats in this country and now I am going through this emotional trauma alone.
My dad has even defended me on radio on this same issue. why? Why? Ghana? Why?
Yes, my life is in Danger and I am on the run till this country shows me there are LAWS.
Deportee am sorry for taking your phone.
Dope sorry for taking your phone.
My fans are sorry but I will have to fight this fight alone and get it done.
To my Dad I say sorry for putting you thru stress
PASTORS ALWAYS SAY THINGS AND LATER PLAN EVIL TO IT, SO THAT ME AND YOU WILL BELIEVE THEY ARE POWERFUL MEN OF GOD.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH
THE YOUTHS OF THESE COUNTRY ARE TIRED OF RELIGIOUSNESS, WE KNOW GOD ALREADY AND THAT IS THAT.
IF THIS WILL MAKE ME STOP MUSIC LIKE HOW MANY WANT ME TO STOP.
THEN SO BE IT
CUZ I AM TIRED OF THE NEGATIVITY IN THIS COUNTRY.
SON OF GHANA
1 DON
(SHATTA WALE)
