The fiery saga of Ghana’s dancehall sensation, Shatta Wale, has taken a dramatic twist as he was reportedly snared in the clutches of the Economic and Organized Crime Office (EOCO) in connection with his coveted 2019 Lamborghini Urus.
In a gripping revelation, the EOCO unveiled that Charles Nii Armah Mensah, alias Shatta Wale, found himself entangled in the intricate web of investigations revolving around a Lamborghini Urus supposedly linked to a jaw-dropping $4 million crime rooted in the nefarious dealings of one Nana Kwabena Amuah – now languishing behind bars in the USA.

Against the backdrop of mounting tension, Shatta Wale, ensconced in his legal fortress, made a grand entrance at the behest of EOCO, albeit delayed. The intense grilling, prolonging till the late hours, eventually culminated in his emancipation from custody after hitting the stipulated bail mark of GHC10,000,000 with two trusted guarantors.
In a startling turn of events, Shatta Wale’s camp, spearheaded by the indefatigable Sammy Flex, rallied tirelessly to fulfill the stringent bail conditions, aimed at facilitated the artiste’s prompt discharge.
Contrary to swirling rumors, the probing lens of inquiry has zeroed in on the matter of taxes entwined with Shatta Wale’s Lamborghini affair, as well as his corporate undertakings.
