Ghanaian dancehall artiste Shatta Wale and his three accomplices have been granted bail by an Accra Circuit court on Tuesday October 25.

Qed.ng had reported that Shatta Wale and the others were remanded in police custody for one week after pleading ‘not guilty’ to allegation of spreading false information, following claims that the singer was shot.
