Adib Sani, a security expert, says he is looking forward to more action being taken against dancehall artiste Shatta Wale for feigning a gun attack.
The security expert was of the view that this is the opportune time for the Ghana Police Service to take action against the celebrity to serve as a deterrent to anyone who will want to replicate what the dancehall and his team did; thereby causing fear and panic.
Without mincing words, he told Sefah-Danquah on the Happy Morning Show, “There is no justification to what he [Shatta Wale] did so we are looking out at what will happen next. If there is no action against Shatta Wale and his management, it will open the floodgates and people will start emulating what they did to gain notoriety.
I think that even though this is awful, it presents to us a unique opportunity to nip it in the bud once and for all.”
He added that if after investigation, it is concluded that the plan was hatched in Shatta Wale’s camp, then “they must have their day in court because fake kidnappings, fake pregnancy and everything related is becoming one too many and we cannot allow that.”
On Monday, October 18th 2021, one of Shatta Wale’s team members called Nana Dope alleged that Wale was ambushed by gunmen but managed to escape and was battling for his life at a health facility.
The police, through their investigations, went to Shatta’s house and a number of health facilities but could not find him.
But in a lengthy Facebook post, Shatta Wale apologized to his fans and people who had been affected by the prank.
He said he took the phones of the team members and made the fake post.
He made reference to the prophecy that was made by a prophet recently on the radio that he would be shot dead on October 18, 2021.
According to Shatta Wale, he was surprised that the security services could not give him protection after that prophecy came.
Meanwhile, the Ghana Police Service has confirmed the arrest of the dancehall artiste in a social media post.
Two others in the persons of the artiste’s Public Relations Manager, Kojo Owusu Koranteng, also known as Nana Dope and Eric Venator, alias Gangee are also in police custody for spreading false information in connection with the alleged gun attack on Shatta Wale.
