EOCO Seizes Shatta Wale’s Lamborghini in FBI-Linked Operation

Ghanaian musician Charles Nii Armah Mensah, popularly known as Shatta Wale is in a very big trouble.

Following a press release dated August 5, 2025, by the Economic and Organized Crime Office (EOCO), it was confirmed that the agency, acting on a request from the FBI and U.S. Justice Department, conducted a search at the musician’s residence in Trassaco Valley.

The operation led to the seizure of a 2019 Lamborghini Urus, which authorities say is linked to the proceeds of a financial crime involving one Nana Kwabena Amuah, currently serving time in the U.S.

While the search and seizure were said to have occurred “without incident,” grapevine information indicates Shatta Wale had long been on EOCO’s radar over questions surrounding the authenticity of some of his luxury vehicles.

The singer, known for his fiery online rants, did not take the development lightly. In a series of posts on social media, he directly accused EOCO boss Raymond Archer of targeting him unjustly.

“Raymond Archer EOCO BOSS, Ibe you go make NDC go out of power next 4yrs. Bringing guns to my house was uncalled for !!!!” he wrote.

Adding a more personal note, he continued: “EOCO BOSS, THE PRESIDENT OF GHANA DIDN’T PUT YOU IN THAT OFFICE TO COME AND HUMILIATE THE CITIZENS OF THIS COUNTRY… REMEMBER GOD NO SLEEP!!”

The press release further mentioned that the car was surrendered by Shatta Wale himself and is currently in EOCO’s custody.

Officials disclosed that a formal Mutual Legal Assistance (MLA) request will be sent to the Government of Ghana for the vehicle to be returned to the U.S. as part of Nana Amuah’s over $4.7 million restitution.

Although Shatta Wale has not been charged, EOCO has named him a person of interest. He, along with a former senior officer of the National Signal Bureau, is expected to assist in further investigations.
