Stonebwoy, Shatta Wale trial stalls; case adjourned to Sept, 16

The Adjabeng Magistrate Court in Accra has once again adjourned to Monday, September 16, the trial of Livingstone Etse Satekla, aka Stonebwoy, and Charles Nii Armah Mensah, popularly called Shatta Wale.

The adjournment of the case was necessitated by the absence of both Lawyers representing the two artistes in court.

The two Dancehall artistes have been charged for their involvement in the disturbance that marred this year’s Vodafone Ghana Music Awards (VGMAs).

The Adjabeng Magistrate Court in Accra, presided over by His Worship Isaac Addo, had at the last court sitting adjourned the matter to today, September 13, 2019, to hold the case management to set the ground rules for the trial.

However, none of the legal representatives of the two musicians, including Stonebwoy’s lawyer, Selali Wonya, and Jerry Avenorgbor, who represents Shatta Wale, appeared in court on Friday, September 13, 2019, compelling the presiding judge to adjourn the case.

Stonebwoy and Shatta Wale have been charged with offensive conduct conducive to breach of peace, while Stonebwoy is facing another charge of displaying a weapon in public place without permission.
