The Accra Circuit Court 4 has ordered the Ghana Police to release Shatta wale’s mobile phone and that of the three others.
According to the details gathered by occupygh.com, the mobile devices were still in police possession following their bail.
Lawyer for both the dancehall artiste and his team members, Jerry Avenorgbo, told judge Emmanuel Essandor that the items were confiscated upon his clients’ arrest and have since not been released.
He argued that his clients being lifestyle and entertainment personalities largely depend on their mobile phones, and the police’s continuous withholding of the same hinder their survival.
According to Mr. Avenorgbo, all pieces of information the police would need for their investigation are already on social media as such, going into his clients’ phones would only serve to breach their privacy.
Judge Essandor, thus, ruled that: “It is not the work of the defense to help the prosecution to do their case. After all, the accused is presumed innocent until proven otherwise. The phones of the accused should be released to them. The alleged offenses were allegedly made on social media.”
As reported earlier, Shatta Wale’s case has been adjourned to December 7, 2021.
