Shatta Wale’s accomplices’ case adjourned
This was after one Bishop Stephen Kwasi Appiah, aka Jesus Ahoufe of New Life Kingdom Chapel, had allegedly prophesied that Shatta Wale would be shot in October 2021 just like Lucky Dube of South Africa. The three accused persons and a relation of Shatta Wale reported at a Police Station that Shatta Wale was missing.
