Shatta Wale blasts EOCO boss over summons
On his Facebook wall on Wednesday, August 6, 2025, Shatta Wale called out Archer for inviting him for questioning regarding his seized yellow 2019 Lamborghini.
According to a statement signed by the security agency, the luxury car was seized due to a directive by the FBI, on the basis that it was allegedly tied to the criminal enterprise of Ghanaian business mogul Nana Kwabena Amuah, who is serving a seven-year jail term in the US for fraud.
In his short message, the Amakor crooner questioned Archer on why he would reach out to his management to inform them about an interrogation at the EOCO office.
He noted that the timing of the summoning was wrong because the country was mourning the loss of the eight persons in the ghastly Ghana Armed Forces helicopter crash earlier that day.
"As our Honourable Leaders crash and we are mourning for the country, Raymond you still have that strong heart to let your boy Agyenim call my team to tell me you are inviting me where," he wrote on Facebook.

Helicopter makes emergency landing after Obuasi crash
YEN.com.gh also reported that an aircraft with the registration number 9G-ADW made an emergency landing at a school park in Ajumako Kokoben, a town in the Central Region, on August 6, 2025. The landing was prompted by poor weather conditions and poor visibility while en route.
The incident occurred just hours after the tragic GAF helicopter crash near Obuasi, which claimed the lives of five high-profile government officials and three crew members on board. The timing of both events has intensified public concern over aviation safety in the country.
