Angry young Ghanaians descended on musician, Shatta Wale, after attempting to discourage people from joining the any future planned protest against galamsey in Accra.

Shatta Wale in a tweet on his Twitter handle called on young people to stop protesting against galamsey and other issues because they will end being locked up.

Wale said the protestors are being used by politicians and wise young people should stay away.

“Even Accra problems we can’t solve and you in Accra fighting ,they will catch u and lock you … Ghetto youth be wise and don’t let foolish people lead you astray … Learn ooo Ghana youth learn ..They are using you thru agents of the devil,” he wrote.

His comment led to angry responses from many frustrated young people some of whom accused him of either being a coward or a paid tool.

“Shatta Wale is a coward by nature,” one comment read.

Another questioned: “If Kwame Nkrumah did not gain independence for us will you have the room to tweet nonsense.”
