Ghanaian artiste manager, Lawrence Nana Asiamah Hanson, otherwise known as Bulldog, has dragged Shatta Wale to court.
He filed a suit against the popular musician at an Accra High Court.
Bulldog’s decision to sue Wale is on the back of the derogatory statements he made about him via social media posts.
If you would recall, Shatta Wale alleged that Bulldog has a hand in the murder of Fennec Okyere because he told him about how the murder was planned.
His allegation against Bulldog, which involves Ex-President John Mahama over gunmen, is also part of the charges that Shatta Wale will have to defend in court.
It all started after the pair threw shots at themselves in a series of social media posts.
The Plaintiff is seeking these reliefs:
- A declaration of the Court that the series of publications made by the Defendant as particularised in the Statement of Claim are defamatory to the Plaintiff.
- A declaration of the Court that the series of publications made by the Defendant in the Statement of Claim are malicious.
