Dancehall artiste, Shatta Wale has rendered an apology to his fans and the general public for faking his gun attack.
The musician was reported to have been shot by unknown gunmen and receiving treatment in the emergency unit of a medical facility of an Accra-based hospital by one of his aide’s – Nana Dhope.
However, Shatta Wale disclosed in a Facebook post that the whole incident was just a prank.
“To my fans am sorry but I will have to fight this fight alone and get it done…”
He also apologized to his team members – Deportee and Dope – for taking their phones to feign the attack on social media.
He, nonetheless, lambasted the Ghana Police Service for not taking any action against the prophet who stated that he will be shot on 18th October; the day he faked his attack.
“So, the police of this country want to tell me none of them saw those threatening statements online to take Action? This pastor said 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 the Ghana police to call my father and tell my father, his son got shot this afternoon…”
The 1 Don hitmaker also admitted in his post that he is in a ‘violent mood’ following the statement made by the false prophet.
He further explained that “this is not the first time I have had these threats in this country, am now I am going through this emotional trauma alone. My dad has even defended me on the radio on this same issue. why? Why? Ghana? Why? Yes, my life is in Danger, and am on the run till this country shows me there are LAWS”.
Meanwhile, the Police Service, in a statement said they have launched investigations into the matter.
This was corroborated by ACP Kwasi Ofori on Angel FM’s Anopa Bofo Morning Show who noted that they are yet to reach Shatta Wale.
