Ghanaians have rubbished calls by the Ghanaian Dancehall King Shatta Wale for President Akufo-Addo to release all prisoners as the country fights to bring the deadly coronavirus under control.
According to Shatta Wale, all prisoners should be released and allowed to go home and made to return after this season of coronavirus passes.
“I think if all social gatherings are banned All prisoners need to come home so that after this season they can go back and continue their sentence ..what do u think lovely people !!!!” “Now police go arrest arm robbers via Whatsapp, they will message u and say “pls come and lock yourself and leave the key on the counter,” Shatta Wale said.
