The Accra Fast Track High Court on Monday October 20 , 2014 sat to hear the case between owner of event Management Company,
Charterhouse and its CEO Mr . Iyiola Ayoade and self-acclaimed Dancehall King , Shatta Wale
real name Charles Nii Armah Mensah Jnr . Talk of Ghana's correspondent reports from the Fast Track High Court that counsel
for both parties were present but the “ Enter the net ” hit maker was nowhere to be found in court.
According to the report Shatta Wale was represented in court by his father Mr . Mensah and his Manager Lawrence Nana Asiamah
Hanson aka Bulldog . The case which lasted barely 45 minutes in
court this morning at the Fast Track High Court saw the two plaintiffs , Charterhouse and Mr. Ayoade, winning an interlocutory injunction
against Shatta Wale. This implies that Shatta Wale and all his
associates have been stopped by the court from releasing anything on Charterhouse and anything or anybody affiliated with Charterhouse be it in writing in social media , in music, Radio, TV, video or through any other form of communication or publication .
In the main case of defamation, Shatta Wale ’s lawyer pleaded with the court for an out of court settlement and asked for one month within which they believe by then the case might be settled amicably between the two parties , but Lawyer for Charterhouse and Mr. Ayoade, Lawyer Egbert Faibelle said one month was too long for a possible out of court settlement so the court agreed and a two- week
ultimatum have been given after which if both parties are not able to settle the case out of court, the case would be recalled . The case has therefore been adjourned to
Monday November 3rd. We are also reliably informed that even before Monday ’s court hearing,
counsel for Shatta Wale had quietly written an.official letter to Charterhouse and Mr . Ayoade for an out of court settlement but
Charterhouse have not replied the said letter yet and Shatta Wale ’s lawyer consistently.pleaded for an out of court settlement in court
today. We are also informed by sources from within Charterhouse that several individuals ,
cooperate bodies and some prominent associations in the entertainment industry have
pleaded on behalf of Shatta Wale to Charterhouse and Mr. Ayoade to forgive the dancehall artiste and take the case out of the court.
Public Relations Officer for Charterhouse , George Quaye confirmed that there have been
several pleas from very prominent people including politicians ,Chiefs, Men of God and people from the entertainment industry apologizing on Shatta Wale ’s behalf and calling
for a cease fire. He also confirmed that indeed Shatta Wale ’s lawyers have written an official letter asking
for an out of court settlement adding that Charterhouse has not officially replied the letter yet. Asked if Charterhouse will possibly consider an out of court settlement as pressure continues to mount on them to do so, George Quaye said
that the decision is beyond him assuring that immediately any decision he would make known .
