The Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) has released new details in its ongoing investigation involving Ghanaian dancehall artiste Shatta Wale and a luxury Lamborghini Urus found at his residence, revealing that the musician cannot identify the seller of the vehicle.
According to EOCO’s statement, Shatta Wale—whose real name is Charles Nii Armah Mensah Jr.—claimed he purchased the Lamborghini “from the street” and mentioned a possible contact named “ZAK” who may have reached out via WhatsApp. However, he was unable to provide any verifiable identity or contact information for the seller, stating that he had discarded the details.
The agency further disclosed that Shatta Wale does not possess any formal documentation of ownership or purchase, such as receipts or transfer papers. The only document in his possession is a customs declaration form bearing the name of Nana Kwabena Amuah, a convicted Ghanaian-American fraudster currently serving an 86-month sentence in the United States.
EOCO confirmed that the Lamborghini is suspected to be linked to proceeds from multi-million-dollar fraud schemes orchestrated by Amuah. The vehicle was seized earlier this year as part of a joint investigation with U.S. authorities, including the FBI and the Department of Justice.
Following his interrogation on August 20, Shatta Wale was granted bail of GH₵10 million with two sureties to be justified. EOCO stated that once the sureties are verified, the artiste will be released from custody.
The investigation remains active, with EOCO continuing to trace the origins of the vehicle and assess any potential links to financial crimes. Shatta Wale’s legal team has maintained that he is cooperating fully with authorities.
