It will be recalled that self-styled Dancehall King in Ghana, Shatta Wale was arrested after reporting himself for faking a gun attack.

Reports on Monday, 18th October 2021, claimed that Shatta Wale had been shot by unknown gunmen as prophesied by a pastor popularly known as ‘Jesus Ahuofe’.
The “Taking Over” hitmaker was, however, remanded into prison custody when he appeared before an Accra Circuit 3 Court on Thursday, October 21, 2021.

In a reaction to this development, Lawyer Maurice Ampaw told Kaakyire Ofori Ayim on Atinka FM’s AM drive that remanding the artiste was unfair as the artiste (Shatta Wale) reported himself to the Police.
He added that Shatta’s remand is unjust especially as it came at a time the Chief justice had given a directive to Judges not to use remand as a tool for punishment.
“Every citizen is entitled to a police enquiry bail and I was surprised the Police denied him bail. This offense is a bailable offense and Chief justice has even given a directive to Judges not to use remand as a tool for punishment. Shatta Wale reported himself and was not arrested, what I don’t understand is the fact that the Police need a week to investigate, what are they investigating when the person has not denied the offense. On what legal basis was Shatta remanded,” Maurice Ampaw said.
Lawyer Maurice Ampaw also insisted that Shatta Wale’s fake gun attack was well planned and that it can be defended in court.
He stressed that the attack was triggered by the prophecy of the man of God.
