After being convicted, Shatta Wale claims to be at last free.

Shatta Wale, a reggae/dancehall performer, is happy that his false publication case is now over.

This came after he pleaded guilty to publishing false information that caused panic and was found guilty and fined $2,000 for it.

Shatta Wale uploaded an image of him with his attorney on Twitter with the caption "free at last."

 

The singer of "My Level" praised his supporters for supporting him during the legal process, as well as his attorney, Jerry Avenogbor.

 

"FREE AT LAST," he wrote. A key component of happiness in life is feeling and expressing appreciation. I'd like to take this chance to express my gratitude to my lawyer, Jerry, the judge, the Shatta Movement, and the entire country for their assistance during these challenging times. #OnGod."

 

This comes after he admitted on Wednesday, June 29, that he had published false news.

The musician was given a non-custodial term and was fined 2,000 by the Court, which was presided over by Emmanuel Essandoh.

Shatta Wale faces a three-month jail sentence if he doesn't pay the fine.

Shatta Wale made up a narrative in 2021 that he had been attacked and shot by unidentified people, but it proved to be a hoax.

He and a few other people were accused of spreading false information. At first, they refuted the accusation.

Jerry Avenogbor, the singer's attorney, said he was unsure of the reason behind Shatta Wale's decision to modify his plea in an interview with Doreen Avio on Hitz FM.

 

They later begged the Court for remission, according to Mr Avenogbor, mainly because the artist was a first-time perpetrator who had displayed regret.
