Shatta Wale interrogated Over Lamborghini Linked to $4m US Fraud,Granted GHC10m Bail.

Popular Ghanaian musician Charles Nii Armah Mensah, widely known as Shatta Wale, has been interrogated and granted bail by the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) in connection with a Lamborghini Urus tied to a $4 million fraud case in the United States.

The luxury vehicle was flagged by the FBI and the US Justice Department as part of assets acquired from proceeds of crime by Nana Kwabena Amuah, a Ghanaian currently serving a jail sentence in the US. Following a request from US authorities, EOCO traced and seized the car in May 2025, finding it in Shatta Wale’s possession.

On August 5, Shatta Wale publicly claimed to have bought the car for $150,000 from an unnamed individual. EOCO invited him for questioning on August 13, later rescheduled to August 20 at his lawyer’s request. Despite several delays, he arrived at EOCO’s office around 3pm but refused to cooperate until his lawyer arrived—who only appeared at 5pm.

The interrogation lasted until 9pm, after which Shatta Wale was granted bail of GHC10 million with two sureties to be justified. He is expected to be released upon successful verification of the sureties.

So far, Shatta Wale has been unable to provide the identity of the seller, stating only that he bought the car “from the street” from someone possibly named “Zak.” He has no proof of purchase or ownership documentation, except a customs declaration in the name of Nana Kwabena Amuah.

US courts have since issued a forfeiture order for the Lamborghini, authorising its seizure as restitution for the crime. Investigations into possible co-conspirators in Ghana remain ongoing.
