Shatta Wale bursts into tears, kneels to apologize to Mahama – Dr. Lawrence Tetteh
Worldwide Miracle Outreach founder Dr. Lawrence Tetteh has shared the amazing story of a plane encounter between dancehall king Shatta Wale and former president John Mahama.
Dr. Lawrence Tetteh revealed over the weekend that he boarded a flight for London with Ghanaian dancehall musician and National Democratic Congress flag bearer Shatta Wale, and that an intriguing thing happened in the aircraft.
The prophet disclosed that Shatta Wale approached him while he was seated, requesting help with a crucial task that led to their meeting and an apology to the former president for remarks he had made in the past that had been taken out of context.
Shatta Wale apologises to Mahama while on his knees and sobbing.
“Shatta Wale came to me and said ‘my father, I want you to do me a favour. I threw certain words at former President Mahama and I feel very guilty to go to him.’ I held his hand and I marched him there. It was on the plane, publicly and I have videos of it I will share”.Dr. Tetteh, expressing his confusion, claimed that Shatta Wale broke down in tears and got down on his knees when he was led to Mahama’s seat.
He disclosed that Shatta expressed his sincere regret to the former President for making fun of him during one of his uncalled-for outbursts a couple of years preceded.
Shatta’s impoliteness broke their bond when he spoke to the crowd during Mr. Mahama’s campaign tour.
However, he told him to act appropriately because he was an example to follow.
According to Dr. Tetteh, Shatta demonstrated humility, acknowledged his mistakes, and vowed not to repeat his behaviour.

Jamaican govt ordered to cover legal fees for Vybz Kartel’s successful conviction appeal
In light of the recent UK Privy Council decision to reverse the murder convictions of popular dancehall artist Vybz Kartel and his three co-accused, King Charles III has issued an official order for the payment of defence costs.
The formal directive, which was obtained by Jamaica’s Observer from Kartel’s attorney, Isat Buchanan, states that it follows the decision to overturn the convictions of Shawn “Shawn Storm” Campbell, Kahira Jones, Andre St. John, and Vybz Kartel (Adijah Palmer), who were serving time for the 2011 murder of Clive “Lizard” Williams.
“His Majesty was pleased by and with the advice of His Privy Council to approve the report and to order that those charged with administering the Government of Jamaica and all others whom it may concern are to ensure that it is punctually observed and obeyed,” stated the order, which was dated April 10, 2024 and signed by a Privy Council clerk.
The order included four recommendations from the Privy Council:
(1) It is appropriate to grant the appeal;
(2) Due to juror misconduct, the appellants’ convictions ought to be overturned;
(3) The matter ought to be returned to the Court of Appeal so that it can determine whether to mandate a new trial as soon as it is reasonably possible;
(4) In the event that an agreement cannot be reached, the Respondent shall reimburse the Appellants’ costs.
The case was returned to the local Court of Appeal in March following the quashing of the convictions.
In order to decide whether to order a retrial or to release the men, the Court of Appeal is scheduled to meet on June 10.
In April 2014, Kartel was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole after completing 35 years of his original sentence. The other co-accused members of the group were also given life sentences; St John will be eligible for parole after 15 years, and Shawn Storm and Jones after 25 years.

Iranian rapper Toomaj Salehi sentenced to death
According to Toomaj Salehi’s attorney, dissident rapper Toomaj Salehi has been sentenced to death for his participation in the widespread protests that swept through Iran in 2022.
“An order for the execution of Toomaj Salehi has been issued,” Salehi’s lawyer Amir Raesian tweeted Wednesday.
The rapper was reportedly tortured after being arrested, detained, and kept in solitary confinement.
According to Iranian pro-reform sites Shargh and Entekhab, an Isfahan court on Tuesday overturned the ruling of the higher Supreme Court in Saleh’s case, adopting the original finding of “corruption on earth” and imposing the death penalty as the maximum penalty. This is an unprecedented move.
Toomaj Salehi Salehi, 32, was briefly released from jail last year before police brutally arrested him again and sent him to a prison in Isfahan, according to witnesses at the time. Salehi has been vocally critical of the Iranian regime and outspoken against the government in rap lyrics and on social media.
In a statement released by the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), UN experts said that he was detained again after he made an appearance in a video in which he claimed to have been subjected to abuse and held in solitary confinement for 252 days after his arrest in October 2022.
Ye-One Rhie, a German member of parliament who supports Salehi politically in Europe, referred to Salehi’s death sentence as “absurd and inhumane.”
“It is still completely unclear how this verdict came about,” she tweeted Wednesday. “It is unbelievable how irresponsibly and arbitrarily the Iranian regime treats defendants. It is impossible to recognize the rule of law in the chaos of the courts in charge.”
