Social media reacts to Shatta Wale and Medikal bail

Following the bail granted to the two top musicians who have been in prison for days, social media users cannot get enough.

Reggae/Dancehall artiste Shatta Wale and Hiplife singer, Medikal reappeared before an Accra Circuit Court to continue their respective legal battles.

Shatta Wale was hurled before the court for the publication of false news and causing fear and panic.

The singer known in real life as Charles Nii Armah Mensah turned himself in on October 19 when the police declared him as a wanted individual.

He had allegedly fabricated a story that he had been shot and receiving treatment, which turned out to be a hoax.

In the case of Medikal, he was arrested for brandishing a weapon on social media.

The rapper born, Samuel Adu Frimpong, was charged for unlawful display of arms and ammunition.

Although the duo pleaded not guilty to their respective charges when they made their first appearances in court, the court refused them bail.

Shatta Wale was remanded into prison custody for one week, while his industry mate, Medikal, was given 5 days in custody.

But when they presented their case again today, the adjudicator granted them a ¢100,000 bail each.

Reacting to this news, social media users expressed mixed reactions.

As some tweethearts were delighted with today’s hearings, others felt this marks the beginning of the end of the two musicians’ trial.

Some Twitter users also considered the whooping GH₵100,000 fine as money that can be used to restructure the Ghana Police Service. In view of this, they praised the Inspector General of Police, Dr George Akuffo Dampare, for “his good works’.
