The press in Accra on Monday focuses on the arrest of two Ghanaian musicians over their clash at Ghana’s premier music awards ceremony on Sunday morning.
The Daily Graphic said the Accra Regional Police Command on Sunday arrested Charles Nii Armah Mensah, popularly known as Shatta Wale and Livingstone Etse Satekla, also known as Stonebwoy, for being involved in disturbances that rocked the 2019 Vodafone Music Awards (VGMA) in the early hours of Sunday.
The two artistes, who reported to the police station with their managers,
were detained by the police after their statements were taken.
According to the report, Shatta Wale attempted to climb the stage when Stonebwoy’s name was mentioned for an award both artists competed for.
It took the security personnel close to 30 minutes to bring the situation under control and Stoneboy was said to have pulled a gun on stage.
The Ghanaian Times, for its part, said 20th VGMA nearly ended in tragedy when Stonebwoy, pointed a gun at his rival Shatta Wale, to defend his award.
The case is currently being investigated by the police.
