Shatta Wale's arrest
Shatta Wale was arrested following a shooting prank he played on Ghanaians on October 18, 2021.
The falsehood was started by his PA, Nana Dope, who was also arrested even before Shatta Wale was caught.
In that fake shooting incident, Nana Dope claimed that Shatta Wale had been rushed to the emergency ward of an undisclosed hospital after some gunmen shot him in the rain.
He was denied bail after appearing in court and remanded in police custody.
Video of pastor prophesying Shatta Wale's shooting
Meanwhile, Shatta Wale's shooting prank happened not long after Bishop Stephen Akwasi, known popularly as Jesus Ahuofe had predicted that Shatta Wale would be shot.
In the video published by YEN.com.gh, the bishop mentioned that Shatta Wale would be shot Monday, October 18, 2021, and that would lead to his death.
Jesus Ahuofe was also arrested by the police for his prophecy. The pastor's wife has cried over unfair treatment the police has meted out to her husband while in custody.
Medikal arrested
In a related development, rapper and good friend of Shatta Wale, Medikal, has been arrested.
He is alleged to have brandished a gun on social media in connection with Shatta Wale's bail denial.
