In a press release, the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) shared that the SM boss was allegedly in possession of a Lamborghini Urus connected to a case abroad.
The agency noted that they carried out a raid at Shatta Wale's Trasacco Valley residence and retrieved the vehicle after a request from the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the US Department of Justice.
The security agencies had linked the dancehall musician's car to a Ghanaian man named Nana Kwabena Amuah, who is currently serving an 86-month (seven years) prison term in the US.
Amid the scandal involving Shatta Wale and his luxurious Lamborghini, the alleged mugshots of Nana Kwame Amuah have emerged on social media.
Yaw Boadu-Ayeboafoh on Shatta and EOCO's issue
Speaking to YEN.com.gh, entertainment analyst Yaw Boadu-Ayeboafoh shared his thoughts on Shatta Wale's issues with EOCO and his approach to dealing with the matter.
He said:
"As a serious matter, I believe the approach by Shatta Wale, though in good faith, lacked guidance. If he had consulted his lawyers, his response and subsequent rants would have been minimal."
"In such cases as these, the brand is protected against direct attack, but in this case, it’s become a social media dogfight, which won’t benefit Shatta Wale in the long run."
Below is the alleged photo of Nana Kwabena Amuah:

According to reports, Nana Kwabena Amuah, the leader of a criminal syndicate, and his co-conspirators impersonated vendors to defraud nearly 70 public and private organisations across the United States of America.
He and his accomplices deceived various business entities in the US into transferring large amounts of money into bank accounts belonging to the convicted fraudster and his accomplices via a shell company named Gretson Company LLC.
