Dancehall star Shatta Wale has been questioned by the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) in Accra over a 2019 Lamborghini Urus at the center of a U.S.-linked fraud probe. According to briefings on Wednesday, August 20, 2025, the musician—born Charles Nii Armah Mensah Jr.—reported to EOCO with his legal team and was later released on bail, with the conditions adjusted the following day. His representatives say they are cooperating fully with investigators and assert the vehicle was acquired lawfully.

The case stems from an American prosecution that secured a 2023 conviction of Nana Kwabena Amuah for a multimillion-dollar fraud scheme. U.S. investigators have been tracing assets allegedly linked to proceeds of crime, including the Lamborghini in Ghana. Shatta Wale has publicly maintained he cannot identify the original seller beyond available documentation and is confident due process will clear his name. The artiste’s camp has urged fans to remain calm while legal processes play out. 

In Ghana, the development has ignited intense online debate—especially among rival fan bases—about lifestyle optics, luxury car ownership documentation, and precedent from similar cases. While investigators have not announced fresh charges, the inquiry underlines EOCO’s increasing collaboration with international agencies on asset tracing and financial crimes. As the matter evolves, industry players are watching how celebrity brand equity intersects with legal risk—and whether the outcome shifts norms around public flaunting of high-end cars in the entertainment space.

The musician’s acknowledgment has sparked positive reactions across social media, with fans praising the importance of mentorship and loyalty in the industry.

According to preliminary reports, the celebrated musician was invited by EOCO earlier this week to assist with ongoing investigations into suspicious financial activities linked to some of his business dealings. Sources close to the development indicate that Shatta Wale was taken into custody after investigators uncovered transactions that allegedly raised red flags in relation to illicit financial flows.

While details of the case remain under tight wraps, it is understood that EOCO is scrutinizing large sums of money believed to have been moved through accounts associated with the musician. Investigators are also said to be probing alleged tax irregularities connected to his income streams from both music and other commercial ventures.

The arrest has sparked intense public debate, with fans and industry stakeholders reacting strongly on social media. Many of his supporters have expressed shock and disbelief, calling for transparency in the investigations and urging due process to be followed. Others, however, argue that the case underscores the need for celebrities and high-profile individuals to ensure compliance with financial regulations and tax obligations.

As of now, EOCO has not issued an official statement regarding the full scope of the investigation or the potential charges that may be filed against the artiste. Legal analysts note that if proven, offenses such as money laundering and tax fraud carry severe penalties under Ghanaian law, including heavy fines and custodial sentences.

Shatta Wale’s management team has yet to publicly comment on the matter. His detention marks one of the most high-profile cases in Ghana’s entertainment industry in recent years, and the outcome of EOCO’s probe is expected to attract significant national attention.

More than 300,000 cocoa farmers across Ghana are protesting the government’s newly announced farmgate price of 51,660 GHS per tonne (3,228 GHS per 64 kg bag), representing just a 4% increase over last season  . This falls significantly short of the previously promised 70% of the free-on-board international price, which would equate to approximately 3,800 GHS per bag.

Cocoa Farmers Revolt: Threats of Smuggling Escalate 12

Producers fear they’ll be underpaid amid escalating costs for fertilizers and insecticides—some now costing 150 GHS each—and have warned they may bar COCOBOD officers from their farms or smuggle harvests into neighboring Ivory Coast and Togo, where cocoa commands 700 GHS more per bag  . COCOBOD estimates that Ghana lost around 160,000 tonnes of cocoa to smuggling during the 2023/24 season.

The standoff threatens to disrupt agricultural extension services vital to farm productivity. With tensions rising, the government faces mounting pressure to intervene and protect the interests of its cocoa backbone—or risk seeing the nation’s most important export slip through porous borders.

In a remarkable gesture of cultural pride and community support, Ghanaian business mogul Richard Nii Armah Quaye has donated a total of ₵200,000, along with other valuable items, to four key traditional authorities as part of the ongoing Ga-Mashie Homowo festivities.

Earlier today, Mr. Quaye visited Ga-Mashie, where he personally presented ₵50,000 each to the Akanmajen Traditional Council, Akumajay Mantse We, Gbese Mantse Palace, and Abola Mantse We. The donations also included assorted provisions and ceremonial items to aid in the successful observance of the annual celebration.

Addressing the gathering, Richard Nii Armah Quaye expressed deep gratitude and a sense of belonging to his roots.

“As my name goes, Richard Nii Armah Quaye, I am a son of the soil,” he stated warmly. “I have not visited these palaces before, but as a true son of the soil, it is only right to support a worthy cause and contribute to the development of Ga-Dangme.”

The Ga-Mashie Homowo festival, one of the most significant cultural celebrations in the Greater Accra Region, commemorates the historic triumph of the Ga people over famine. It is marked by traditional rites, drumming, dancing, and communal feasts. Contributions such as Mr. Quaye’s play a crucial role in sustaining the rich heritage and supporting the community’s development initiatives.

Stonebwoy’s “Settings Man” Label Reverberates Amid Shatta Wale Lamborghini Seizure

Accra, August 2025 — Ghanaian dancehall heavyweight Stonebwoy finds himself trending once again, this time as the actions of his long-standing rival, Shatta Wale, seem to validate a remark he made in the past.

Stonebwoy’s “Settings Man” Label Reverberates Amid Shatta Wale Lamborghini Seizure 20

Earlier this month, EOCO (Economic and Organised Crime Office) seized a Lamborghini Urus belonging to Shatta Wale, linking it to an international stolen vehicle syndicate . Social media quickly resurfaced an old comment by Stonebwoy, who famously labeled Shatta Wale a “settings man”—a Ghanaian expression suggesting behind-the-scenes scheming or showy manipulation .

The phrase had initially emerged during a December 2024 Angel FM interview, where Stonebwoy criticized Shatta Wale’s televised GH₵5,000 cash giveaway—calling it a mere stunt devoid of substance . Fans and commentators have interpreted the unfolding legal situation as confirmation—“Stonebwoy never lied,” wrote one supporter online .

Stonebwoy has long expressed disdain for what he considers theatrics from his rival. In previous interviews, he frequently used terms like “trickster” and “big mouth”, while also pointing out that such actions might be met with harsher consequences outside Ghana — even citing Jamaica as a stricter environment .

As the Lamborghini scandal continues to evolve, Stonebwoy’s earlier rhetorical barbs have taken on a newfound resonance. Whether coincidence or prescience, one thing is clear: the social media narrative is giving his words staying power beyond the interview room.
