Media personality Okatakyie Afrifa-Mensah has shared his thoughts on EOCO’s seizure of a Lamborghini at Shatta Wale’s residence and it’s related developments.
In a video shared on X on August 14, 2025, Okatakyie Afrifa-Mensah, while speaking on his program, claimed that Shatta allowed himself to be used by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) for political power.
“They have used Shatta Wale and dumped him. Before we voted in the 2024 election, he was campaigning for John Mahama and the NDC, and they used his following to come into power,” he said in the Twi dialect.
The media personality further alleged that the government is using the EOCO to tame the “On God” singer from making utterances that might affect the ruling government.

“After they came into power, they have been using the EOCO to shut him up so he won’t be able to criticise the government,” he added.
Background
The Shatta Wale and EOCO saga began in June 2025, when Ghana’s Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) seized a 2019 Lamborghini Urus from the musician’s residence in Trassaco Valley, Accra.
According to a report by the EOCO and FBI, the vehicle was linked to Nana Kwabena Amuah, a Ghanaian American serving an 86-month prison sentence in the U.S. for a $4.7 million fraud scheme.
EOCO said it’s actions were based on a request from the FBI and U.S. Department of Justice, as the car was allegedly purchased with proceeds from Amuah’s crimes and needed for victim restitution.

Shatta denied any involvement with Amuah, claiming he bought the car for $150,000 from Kwabena Adu-Boahene, a former National Signals Bureau (NSB) officer, and was unaware of its criminal ties.
The dancehall musician also accused EOCO of an “armed raid” in his residence with 13 officers, which EOCO denied, stating the seizure was peaceful and Shatta voluntarily surrendered the car to protect his brand.
