Nana Poku Ashis is a Ghanaian entertainment pundit
Ghanaian artiste manager and entertainment pundit, Nana Poku Ashis, has joined other industry players in expressing support for dancehall musician Shatta Wale amid his ongoing investigation by EOCO.
In an interview with GhanaWeb‘s Isaac Dadzie on August 22, 2025, Nana Poku Ashis noted that critics should refrain from blaming the dancehall musician for purchasing a vehicle alleged to be processed from fraudulent activities.
According to Ashis, anyone could find themselves in a similar situation, and playing the blame game will not help the ongoing investigation.

“I feel it’s quite unfortunate that we find a superstar of ours involved in this situation. Everybody can be caught in this web. I don’t blame Wale for anything… This could happen to anybody, even me,” he said.
Nana Poku Ashis further noted that the ongoing investigation into Shatta Wale’s 2019 Lamborghini Urus should serve as a lesson to every Ghanaian.
“Let’s be honest, the EOCO is now educating us on most of the things we should track when you are buying a thing like that. So this can happen to any of us,” he added.
Background
Shatta Wale was detained on Wednesday, August 20, 2025, after voluntarily appearing at the EOCO headquarters in Accra with his lawyer, Cephas Biyuo.
The inquiry centres on allegations of irregularities surrounding the luxury vehicle, which was earlier seized by authorities on suspicion of being connected to a wider financial scandal in the United States.
