The Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) has revealed that popular dancehall artiste Charles Nii Armah Mensah, widely known as Shatta Wale, has been unable to identify the person from whom he allegedly purchased a Lamborghini Urus linked to a $4 million crime in the United States.
According to EOCO, the vehicle was flagged by the FBI and the U.S. Justice Department as part of assets acquired through fraudulent means by one Nana Kwabena Amuah, a Ghanaian currently serving a jail term in the US. The car was later traced and seized in Ghana in Shatta Wale’s possession.
A statement dated August 21, 2025 issued by EOCO revealed that Shatta Wale, who had claimed he bought the luxury vehicle for $150,000 from an unknown source, told investigators that he acquired it from the “street” through a person possibly named “ZAK,” but said he could not provide further details or contact information.
He also failed to present ownership documents apart from a customs declaration that bore the name of Nana Kwabena Amuah who is already in jail in USA
The musician was invited to EOCO’s headquarters on August 20, 2025, for questioning. After hours of delay, his interrogation concluded around 9pm, after which he was granted bail of GH¢10 million with two sureties to be justified.
The statement also confirmed that the US District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky has already ordered the forfeiture of the Lamborghini as a substitute asset, authorising its seizure in Ghana to support restitution in the American case.
