EOCO Confirms Seizure of Shatta Wale’s Lamborghini in FBI Joint Operation
Accra, Ghana — Dancehall star Charles Nii Armah Mensah, popularly known as Shatta Wale, has broken his silence following reports that the Economic and Organized Crime Office (EOCO) seized his 2019 Lamborghini Urus in connection with a joint investigation by U.S. authorities.
According to Shatta Wale, on May 8, 2025, EOCO officials, accompanied by heavily armed security personnel, conducted a search at his Trassaco Valley residence. The dancehall artiste claimed he possesses surveillance footage of the operation and has hinted at the possibility of making it public.
📽️ Surveillance and Seizure
In a statement made via his social media platforms, Shatta Wale alleged that the EOCO team entered his property with the intent to search and seize. The footage, he says, clearly shows how events unfolded during the encounter.
“I was at home when they came in fully armed. I have it all on camera,” Shatta Wale stated.
📄 EOCO Confirms U.S. Request
EOCO has officially confirmed that the vehicle in question was seized in June 2025 as part of a collaborative effort with the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the U.S. Department of Justice.
Authorities say the Lamborghini Urus is linked to Nana Kwabena Amuah, a convicted Ghanaian fraudster currently under U.S. federal investigation. The vehicle was surrendered voluntarily by Shatta Wale and is now being held in EOCO’s custody.
⚖️ What’s Next?
Legal proceedings may follow depending on the outcome of the U.S. investigations into the fraud ring tied to Amuah. Shatta Wale has not been officially charged with any crime at the time of this report, but the incident has stirred widespread media attention.
EOCO maintains that it acted in accordance with international law enforcement protocols and continues to cooperate with the U.S. authorities.
