The Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) has disclosed that popular Ghanaian musician Charles Nii Armah Mensah, popularly known as Shatta Wale, has been unable to provide credible evidence of ownership or lawful acquisition of a Lamborghini Urus vehicle in his possession.
According to an official statement issued by EOCO on Thursday August 21, Shatta Wale claimed to have purchased the luxury vehicle from “the Street,” adding that the seller might be someone called “ZAK” who allegedly contacted him via WhatsApp.
However, the artiste admitted that he neither knows the individual’s true identity nor retains the WhatsApp contact used in the transaction.
The statement further indicated that Shatta Wale failed to present any formal documentation—such as a sales receipt or transfer documents—proving his ownership of the vehicle. The only document in his possession is a customs declaration form, which bears the name of Nana Kwabena Amuah, an individual currently serving a jail sentence.
Meanwhile, fans of Shatta Wale have stormed the offices of the EOCO to demand his release from custody. The artiste was granted GHS10million with two sureties after being held over issues related to tax compliance. EOCO officials confirmed that his release is subject to meeting all legal requirements.
Shatta Wale’s media manager, Samuel Atuobi Baah, popularly known as Sammy Flex, confirmed in a video update that the musician’s legal team and management are working to secure his release. He assured fans that all efforts are underway to meet the bail terms.
