Bulldog, manager of Shatta Wale has asked for prayers for the controversial dancehall act and other showbiz practitioners who are currently on remand at the Ankaful Maximum Security Prison.
He believes the public’s support with prayers can make the judge handling their case have some sympathy on them.
“Where my brother is sleeping now is not the place he should be. I can also tell you that he is strong and he is going to come out of this issue a stronger person. I can’t talk about what happened…but what I can say is, like we pray for everyone he also needs our prayers. He needs support,” he said on UTV on Saturday.
“Everyone has their views on this matter but the most important thing is we should pray for them so that on Tuesday the judge will have sympathy on them so that they come home,” he added.
Last week an Accra Circuit Court remanded the dancehall musician for one week after he pleaded not guilty to a charge of publication of false news.
On October 19, the artiste turned himself in after the police had declared him wanted.
He had allegedly fabricated a story that he had been shot and receiving treatment, which turned out to be a hoax.
Three of his accomplices were charged with abetment of crime.
Police in a Facebook post said, “they were remanded following a request by the police for their continued detention due to ongoing investigations on their alleged involvement in the publication of false information to cause fear and panic.”
The self-styled Dancehall King, born Charles Nii Armah Mensah, is expected to reappear in court on October 28, 2021.
