Shatta Wale and his associates who were remanded at Ankaful Prison for 7 days, were granted bail after appearing before an Accra Circuit Court today October 25.

The singer was granted GH100,000 bail on self recognition. His 3 accomplices, Kojo Owusu Koranteng, Idris Yusif, and Eric Venator, were also granted bail on grounds that they had been counseled, are not flight risk, and will not escape.
