President John Dramani Mahama has told Nigerian musician Ahmed Ololade, popularly known as Asake, that ‘the law is the law,’ following the recent firearm discharge incident at a public event in Accra.
He made the remark when he met the singer at a supercar spectacle event held in Accra on December 30, 2025.
A video from the gathering, which has since gone viral, showed President Mahama in the company of his brother, Ibrahim Mahama; businessman Richard Nii Armah Quaye; actor and MP John Dumelo; and Asake.

During introductions, President Mahama was heard asking, “Ooh, so he is the one the guy fired the gun for?”
When the question was answered in the affirmative, Asake burst into laughter.
President Mahama then reached out to the musician, who responded apologetically, saying, “We are not happy about what happened.”
President Mahama then replied with a smile, stating; “Don’t worry, the law is the law,” underscoring that due process would take its course.
The comments come in the wake of the arrest of a suspect captured in a viral video discharging a firearm at a public event at the El-Wak Stadium on December 28, 2025.
