Investigative journalist, Manasseh Azure Awuni has been throwing jabs at Shatta Movement president, Shatta Wale following his arrest.
Shatta was arrested with two of his boys Kojo Owusu Koranteng, also known as Nana Dope and Eric Venator, alias Gangee after they circulated false information about him being fatally injured in a drive-by shooting.
In a 25line poem posted on Facebook, Manasseh extolled the police under the leadership of IGP Akuffo Dampare.
Although shying away from mentioning Shatta’s name, it was quite obvious the poem was attributed to him.

King Sark said No Pressure
That advice should have been a treasure
For life is not a race. Everyone has their pace
But some would resort to anything for fame
Even if it would end in shame
They use shortcuts to rise in the gameBut it takes more than noise to keep one’s name
In their current state, they ought to be wistful
But in their fleeting glory of yore, they are wishful
In comparison with others’ success, they’re flattered
But the consistency of others keeps them flustered
So they’d do anything to rise
Even if it’s as inferior as “tugyimi” rice
Because trending is where their pride lies
But now they’re cold like ice
In their antics, however, they should not lose sight
That things are no longer loose, but tight
We aren’t saints, but we must strive to do right
It’s true that lawlessness is in our remit
It’s true that the powerful can even build without a permit
But under Dampare, every foolishness has its limit
Dampare is large and in charge!
And we’ve got to know What Time It Is!
Now, the beginning of wisdom is a declaration to thyself: “I Know My Level.”
