Ghanaian dancehall artiste Shatta Wale, born Charles Nii Armah Mensah Jr., has been detained by the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) in connection with an investigation into his tax obligations.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, August 20, via publicist Sammy Baah Flex, Shatta Wale’s management confirmed the development, noting that the case stems from the purchase of a yellow Lamborghini that drew the attention of investigators.
“This follows an inquiry related to tax obligations on the purchase of a yellow Lamborghini vehicle,” the statement read.
The musician, accompanied by his lawyer Cephas Biyuo, is reported to have voluntarily appeared at EOCO’s offices in Accra to assist with the ongoing probe.
Management further assured fans that the situation is under control, adding:
“We want to assure all fans and the general public that his legal team is fully engaged and actively working with the authorities to resolve this matter. They are taking all necessary steps to secure his release at the earliest opportunity.”
