''It is good that they've been granted bail, which is their constitutional right. MARTIN KPEBU vs ATTORNEY GENERAL case makes it clear that every case is bailable.

''I still stand on my point that, their arrest serves as a deterrent to them and others too not to repeat it,'' he said.

Meanwhile, Johnson Adusei-Poku previously criticised Shatta Wale for causing fear and panic in relation to his gun attack stunt.

''Shatta Wale is a First Degree Personality; he pulls a lot of crowds. Making a hoax brought the nation to a standstill,'' he said.

''We all know robbery has become rampant. If Shatta Wale does this and the police don't take action, people will say the police are weak,'' he added.
