Court grants ‘Jesus Ahuofe’ ¢100k bail over Shatta Wale hoax shooting
Leader of New Life Kingdom Chapel International, Stephen Akwasi, has been granted a ¢100,000 bail by an Accra Circuit Court.
He has pleaded not guilty to the charge of causing fear and panic.
Mr Akwasi had earlier been remanded for five days after his arrest in connection with Shatta Wale’s hoax shooting.
He is the pastor whose prophecy the dancehall artiste has cited as the reason for his recent fake shooting escapade.
Popularly known as Jesus ‘Ahuofe’, the prophet was seen in a viral video explaining circumstances under which the self-styled Dancehall King would be shot.
While speaking on the radio show on September 28, the preacher compared the pending catastrophe to that of South African music legend Lucky Dube, who was shot on October 18, 2007.
He was picked up on October 19 by the police at the premises of Accra FM while preparing for an interview on the station’s mid-morning show.
Jesus Ahuofe is expected to reappear on October 29, 2021.
