Shatta Wale's detention by EOCO
In a press statement on Wednesday, August 20, 2025, the management of Shatta Wale announced that he had been detained by the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) in connection with investigations into the purchase of his 2019 Lamborghini Urus.
The dancehall musician's detention comes weeks after the agency visited his Trasacco Valley home and seized the car after a request from the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the US Department of Justice.
The security agencies had linked Shatta Wale's car to a Ghanaian man named Nana Kwabena Amuah, who is currently serving an 86-month (seven years) jail term in the US over some financial crimes.
