Dancehall musician Shatta Wale seems ready to collaborate with the Police in investigating the late artiste manager, Fennec Okyere’s murder.
In a post on Facebook, Wednesday, Shatta Wale shared the Police statement inviting him to open up on what he knows about the incident.
“Thank you Ghana Police,” he captioned his post.
His invitation followed an allegation that his former manager Bullgod, may have had a hand in the the death of the Fennec.
This comes a day after Shatta Wale threatened to reveal a secret Bullgod told him in relation to the death of the artiste manager.
Th threat was in reaction to the leakage of the list of artistes featuring on the tracks for Shatta Wale’s upcoming album, ‘Gift of God’ (GOG) by Bullgod.
The ‘Ayoo’ hitmaker stated that he is ready to tell any court what Bullgod told him about the murder of Fennec Okyere.
This caught the attention of Kwaw Kese whose career Fennec Okyere managed before his passing in 2014.
He shared a screenshot of Shatta Wale’s post and called on the Police to get justice for his former manager.
The Police later released a statement noting that they were in touch with Shatta Wale and hoped to get relevant information to help find the culprit.
Fennec Okyere’s death
Fennec Okyere, who was the manager of the controversial musician, Kwaw Kese, was murdered at his Manet Gardens residence on the Spintex Road, Accra on Thursday, March 13, 2014 by unknown assailants. He died at age 31.
Following his death, Bullgod, born Lawrence Nana Asiama Hanson, was picked up by the Police Criminal Investigative Department (CID).
He was arrested in Kokomlemle, a suburb of Accra, as a suspect in the death of Fennec Okyere.
This was because Bullgod (then known as Bulldog) who had regular beefs with Fennec Okyere, had supposedly threatened him in an interview on radio.
While on the Police charge sheet Bullgod was to face the charge of conspiracy to commit murder, his plea was not taken.
In 2017, the Bullhaus Entertainment CEO was freed from the charges in relation with the alleged murder, with then Attorney-General, Gloria Akuffo saying the state was no longer interested in prosecuting Bulldog over the alleged murder of Fennec Okyere.
This was contained in the A-G’s advice on the case docket. Kwaw Kese registered his unhappiness about the development.
“Even the prosecutors were not going to court. I believe our security system is very weak,” a very disappointed Kwaw Kese told Lexis Bill in an interview on Behind the Fame on Drive Time on Joy FM in 2018.
But, Bullgod has consistently maintained that he is innocent, thus had no hand in the passing of Fennec Okyere.
According to him, the jabs they threw at each other were aimed at promoting their artistes and also to remain relevant as managers.
In a 2022 interview on Hitz FM, Bullgod maintained his innocence adding that he never threatened Fennec Okyere, despite their disagreements.
Meanwhile, Kwaw Kese, year in and year out, continues to celebrate his former manager on his death anniversary.
