Shatta Wale is currently in the Upper East Region for a promotional gig for an alcoholic brand.

The incident happened on the Tamale-Bolgatanga Highway while the musician’s convoy was travelling to Bolgatanga for a promotional event for an alcoholic beverage. The deceased officer, a motorcycle rider for former president John Kufour, was reportedly leading the convoy when he was involved in an accident on the highway with another car. The dispatch rider is reported to be one Sergeant Frempah, who studied the Law of Evidence, Criminal Procedure, and Police Ethics at the National Police Training School, who was killed in the impact. Witnesses recount a horrifying scene in which the officer was flung from his motorcycle as soon as it crashed.
