Dancehall star Shatta Wale, born Charles Nii Armah Mensah Jr, has been released from the custody of the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) after meeting bail conditions tied to an investigation involving his yellow 2019 Lamborghini Urus.
The artiste was detained on Wednesday, August 20, 2025, after voluntarily appearing at EOCO headquarters in Accra alongside 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.
Investigators are also probing possible breaches of Ghana’s tax regulations relating to the car.
