He said that he was surprised by the actions of the police as he had already been given the necessary permit to hold the float on the street as part of his Shaxi ride-hailing app launch.

The Killa Ji Mi hitmaker claimed that IGP Dampare showed no respect for his personnel as he also ordered the arrest of a policeman, who accompanied him and his team and drove his Toyota Land Cruiser on their way home.

Shatta Wale shared that the unfortunate incident took place at Airport Road and he and his team were arrested for disturbing the peace and violating traffic regulations.

The dancehall musician questioned why he was arrested while others who regularly made noise on the street with sirens on their cars and were accompanied by police motorbikers were allowed to do so without facing any punishment.

Over the years, Shatta Wale has vented his dislike for the former IGP George Akuffo Dampare after he and some of his team members were arrested by the police and imprisoned for a short stint along with Medikal in October 2021.
