A prophet and counselor called D Y Donkoh, who recently predicted the death of popular Ghanaian dancehall artiste Shatta Wale has been arrested.
The arrest took place on the night of Friday, July 25, 2025, at the prophet’s residence.
In a video shared online by Shatta Wale’s public relations officer, Sammy Flex, the prophet is seen being interrogated by police officers while trying to explain how he received the so-called vision.
The arrest comes after a viral video surfaced in which the prophet claimed to have seen two separate visions involving Shatta Wale.
In the first vision, the musician was attacked but survived and later thanked God on social media. However, in the second vision, he claimed Shatta Wale was gunned down by three armed men.
The prophecy sparked outrage from Shatta Wale, who took to social media platform X to strongly condemn the message.
He described such predictions as dangerous and urged the Ghana Police Service to take immediate action.
He gave the police a one-week ultimatum to arrest the prophet, warning that if they failed to act, he would take steps himself, emphasising that while his response would not be violent, it would serve as a lesson to the nation.
“Men of God indeed. This is what Dampare supported, and it escalated. Ghana Police, if you don’t arrest this man within 1 week, nobody should blame me for what I am capable of doing—and it won’t be violence but a lesson to this country,” Shatta Wale posted.
This is not the first time Shatta Wale has been at the center of a death prophecy.
In 2021, a similar prophecy led him to fake his own death, which resulted in his arrest for causing fear and panic.
