Renowned Dancehall artiste, Shatta Wale, has issued an apology to his fans for faking an alleged gun attack on him, Monday, October 18, 2021.

The Police Service says it has commenced investigations into reports of the gun attack on the controversial artist.

In a statement on Facebook, the Police said all friends and close associates of the musician contacted so far say they do not know of his whereabouts or the attack.

“The attention of the Police has been drawn to the widely circulated news on the alleged gunshot attack on one Charles Nii Armah Mensah popularly known as Shatta Wale.

“On hearing the news, the police have launched an investigation into the matter including making contacts with some of his close friends and family members and all of them claim not to have knowledge of his whereabouts or the alleged incident”.

The statement further noted: “A team has visited the house of Shatta Wale and he cannot be found there.

“Over the last few hours, the Police have searched and continue to look for Shatta Wale at hospitals in Accra.

“Whilst we continue our investigations, the Police is appealing to the public to provide any information concerning the whereabouts of Shatta Wale to the numbers 18555, 191 and 0302773906”.

But in a lengthy Facebook post, Shatta Wale apologized to his fans and people who had been affected by what he described as a 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 man of God recently 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.

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 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 am now I am going these 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 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

To my fans am 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
