Ghanian reggae star, Shatta Wale has accused Ghanaian Police of endangering his life after they announced they were looking for him.
Earlier in the day, he was reported to have been shot by unknown gunmen at the East Legon region in Ghana.
Thereafter, the Ghanaian Police Service via a Facebook post responded saying they heard about the attack, but have not been able to confirm if it is true.
The dancehall music star, has now countered police claims and accused them of negligence and endangering his life.
According to Shatta Wale, the threat to his life was an open secret and police cannot claim they do not know about it.
He also accused them of not doing enough to protect him, adding that a prophet was behind his attack.
The multiple award-winning singer, made all these claims in long Facebook post titled, ‘This is what I have to say’,
Where he said: “Psychological, or emotional trauma is damage or injury to the psyche after living through an extremely frightening or distressing event and may result in challenges in functioning or coping normally after the event.
“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 cyber crime department nor did you hear or come across anything like that online?”
“stupid media houses to spread news to my fans about me being shot because all we wish in this country is for dead people and funerals.
“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.
He added that the threat that led to his attack was not his first, before apologizing to his dad for getting him into his mess. He also appealed to his fans to let him handle the issue on his own.
“This is not the first time I have had these threats in this country. Now I am going these emotional trauma alone. My dad has even defended me on radio on this same issue. why? Why? Ghana? Why?
“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.
“To my fans, I’m sorry, but I will have to fight this fight alone and get it done.
“To my Dad, I say sorry for putting you through stress.
“Pastor always say things and later plan evil to it so that I and you will believe that they are powerful men of God.
“Enough is Enough. The youth of this country are tired of ‘religiousness’. We know God already and that is that.
“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.” (sic) he wrote.
