In support of Freedom of Speech which Ghanaian musician-Gbee Naabu also known as Shatta Wale has threatened with a recent statement that he will beat the hell out of any Ghanaian blogger he meets–GhanaCelebrities.Com has declared a week of Gbee Naabu, sanctioned by the Founding Editor-Chris-Vincent Agyapong Febiri.
It’s not only hypocritical but also absurd that the outspoken Gbee Naabu, who literally has an opinion on anything and anybody, unfettered by the size of his mouth. And insults people and institutions almost every day, illegitimately doing so on the back of Free Speech has decided to curtail Press Freedom by serving Ghanaian bloggers with threats.
Of course, Free Speech is not absolute but even that, threats of violence against press men is not a legitimate restrictive mechanism under any law.
Interestingly, Gbee Naabu still faces a lawsuit bordering on abuse of Free Speech and we mean, his issues with Charter House. Yet, today, he’s declared war on Free Speech in a psychopathic manner as he seeks to control what Ghanaian bloggers say about him.
Gbe Naabu has always been on the warpath with bloggers, claiming they publish lies about him, but the straw that broke the camel’s back was his recent cancelled US shows, which reports put down to his inability to acquire a US visa.
