The Economic and Organized Crime Office (EOCO) has confirmed that dancehall artist Shatta Wale was interrogated on Thursday 21,2025, in connection with a luxury vehicle linked to an ongoing international fraud investigation.
According to EOCO’s official statement, the case involves a 2019 Lamborghini Urus, which the FBI and US Justice Department identified as proceeds of a $4 million crime involving Ghanaian national Nana Kwabena Amuah, who is currently serving a jail term in the US.
Investigations revealed that the vehicle was traced to Shatta Wale earlier this year. EOCO invited him to assist with inquiries after he publicly claimed to have purchased the Lamborghini for $150,000 from an unidentified party.
During questioning, Shatta Wale admitted he could not identify the seller beyond a name, “Zak,” who allegedly contacted him via WhatsApp. He also could not provide receipts, transfer documents, or proof of ownership, apart from a customs declaration bearing the name of Nana Kwabena Amuah.
Shatta Wale, accompanied by his lawyer, reported to EOCO on August 20, 2025. Interrogations concluded around 9pm, after which he was granted bail of GHS 10 million with two sureties. EOCO stated that once the sureties are verified, the artist will be released from custody.
EOCO assured the public that the matter is being handled according to due process and will continue working closely with US authorities.
