with a
convoy and obstructing traffic,” Ernest
Dela Aglanu of myjoyonline reports.
Aglanu’s report further reads:
According to the police, the ‘Dancehall
King’ hit singer claimed he was late for a
flight to Italy so he had to use the
convoy to get to the airport early.
Supt. Yaw Tetegah, Airport Police
Commander who confirmed the arrest in
an interview with Myjoyonline.com
stated that Shatta Wale was arrested
around the Shangri-La traffic light at
about 4:30 pm.
He narrated that the artiste was driving
with a “ number of motorbikes leading
him pushing all other vehicles aside and
his reason was that he was about to fly
and he is late. He is going to take his
belongings and then get back to the
airport so he was forcing his way
through the traffic being led by a
number of motorbikes.”
A Police officer from the Police
Headquarters “got him arrested” after
witnessing the obstruction he had
caused.
Supt. Yaw Tetegah said he could not
determine the number of motorbikes
involved in the incident but they sped
off as soon as they saw the police.
Asked whether Shatta Wale was charged
for the incident, he disclosed that the
2014 Ghana Music Awards Artiste of the
Year winner was taken to the Police
Charge Office, his particulars were taken
and he was given a warning letter.”
