The prosecution in the case in which Dancehall artiste Charles Nii Armah Mensah popularly known as Shatta Wale is facing charges with three others has said the police “will use other means” within the law to arrest the sister of the artiste.
The prosecution is seeking the sister of shatta Wale who is said to be the person who reported the incident of the alleged fake gunshot to the East Legon Police to assist with investigations.
But after a gentleman’s agreement between the defence lawyers, the prosecution and the court for the defence to produce the said suspect, that agreement has been reneged on.
In court on Tuesday, Chief Inspector Dennis Terkpetey, “there was a gentleman’s agreement between counsel, but they are not helping us, so we will use other means.”
Jerry Avenorgbo, counsel for Shatta Wale argued that the architecture of the law existed before now and the prosecution cannot have it changed.
He wondered why a person who volunteered information to the police, should be treated as a suspect.
This according to counsel will put fear in people who had information and want to report to the Police.
He urged on the court to as a matter of urgency commence the trial within the next one week.
In his response to that prayer, the prosecutor said, “it is our case and he cannot determine how we should do our case.”He added, “We were in your chambers (Judge) and we agreed on a gentleman agreement and they have failed to do what is right.”
