Ampaw: Shatta Wale wasn't arrested – he turned himself in
Private legal practitioner Maurice Ampaw has negated claims by the police administration that it arrested controversial dancehall artiste Shatta Wale over his gunshot prank.
According to him, the artiste, known in private life as Charles Nii Armah Mensah, turned himself in after news got to him that two of his boys had been arrested in connection with the publication of false information to cause fear and panic on social media.
He said the impression created by the police that Shatta Wale was arrested was erroneous and must be corrected.
According to the private legal practitioner, he advised Shatta Wale to turn himself in when the dancehall artiste called him to seek legal advice.
“So, let not the police create the impression as if the artiste was arrested, as has been portrayed in the traditional media and on social media platforms,” he said.
“It is high time the police hierarchy desisted from some of this misinformation in the media,” he added.
Mr Ampaw noted that what Shatta Wale did by faking his shooting may be considered a crime but it was an act to expose a crime.
He contended that one can, in certain circumstances, commit a crime to expose a crime just like what ace investigator Anas Aremeyaw Anas has been doing, as part of his exposé on corruption in the country.
Mr Ampaw made this assertion on Accra-based Neat FM.
