Ghanaian musician, Shatta Wale, has claimed that his life is in danger. This is following a search by the Ghanaian Police for him.
Using his official Facebook page, the musician stated that his life is in danger and he’s on the run, on Tuesday. He stated that a prophet has told him that he would be shot on the 18th of October. He further blamed the police for not taking action on such a “threatening statement.”
On Monday, several posts surfaced online showing the reggae singer was shot at in East Legon, Ghana. Wale’s representative, Nana Dope, revealed that the singer is alive. However, he has been taken to the emergency ward of a hospital.
In response to this, the Ghana Police Service via a Facebook post revealed that they are currently searching for the dancehall artiste.
The award winning musician revealed that this is not his first death threat. He stated that he has always gotten death threats and the police have done nothing about it. He said,
“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 cyber crime department nor did you hear or come across anything like that online?”
He continued,
“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 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 actions 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. 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 I’m on the run till this country shows me there are laws.”
The star went on to apologize to a number of people,
