Ghanaian artiste Shatta Wale who was reportedly shot by unknown gunmen has cried out over an alleged threat to his life as the Ghanaian Police continue their search for him.
According to several internet posts on Monday, the reggae singer was shot at East Legon in Ghana. The singer’s spokesperson, Nana Dope, revealed that the singer is alive and has been taken to the emergency ward of a hospital.
However, the dancehall artiste in a Facebook post on Tuesday, stated that his life is in danger and he is on the run.
Shatta who also claimed that a prophet had told him that he would be shot on October 18, blamed the police for not taking action on such a ‘threatening statement’.
“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 cybercrime department nor did you hear or come across anything like that online?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. Yes, my life is in danger and I’m on the run till this country shows me there are laws. Deportee, I’m sorry for taking your phone. Dope, sorry for taking your phone.
“This is not the first time I have had these threats in this country. Now I am going through these emotional traumas alone. My dad has even defended me on radio on this same issue. why? Why? Ghana? Why?
The 37-year-old concluded by saying that if calling out the injustice done to him would end his music career then so be it.
“If this will make me stop music like how many want me to stop, then so be it. Because I’m tired of the negativity in this country,” he wrote.
