The management of Ghanaian artiste Shatta Wale has issued a statement in response to the chaotic scenes at the ShattaFest UK event in London, confirming they are waiting for official information on casualties, according to Adomonline.com.
The event, held in a London park, was disrupted after a crowd crush left multiple people injured. Reports from the London Evening Standard and My London describe a "major incident" that prompted a police response. The Sun reported that attendees were seen being taken away on stretchers and that the concert was cancelled as a result.
Shatta Wale's management, per Adomonline.com, has acknowledged the situation but is holding off on further comment until they receive verified details from authorities. The incident occurred amid heightened anticipation for the festival, which had been promoted heavily in the lead-up, including a GhanaWeb report that artiste RNAQ had landed in the UK to join Shatta Wale on stage.
The crush took place at the "Ghana Party in the Park" festival, an event that draws large crowds from the diaspora community. Police were called to the scene, and emergency services treated several injured individuals. The exact number of casualties has not yet been confirmed by officials.
As the investigation continues, the focus now shifts to whether official statements from London authorities will clarify the scale of the injuries and what safety measures may be reviewed for future events of this kind.
