Ghanaian dancehall artiste, Shatta Wale, has undergone a spiritual cleansing ritual at the Teshie Next Door Beach, days after he was granted bail by the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO).
According to a report by citinewsroom.com on August 24, 2025, the ritual, led by Teshie Gbuglah Mantse, Original Nii Martey Laryea I, is believed to be a traditional act to rid the musician of any negative energy or spiritual burden following his recent legal issues.
Shatta Wale, born Charles Nii Armah Mensah, was invited for interrogation in connection with a luxury Lamborghini Urus that is linked to a $4 million fraud case under investigation by US authorities.
Shatta Wale released after EOCO detention
He was granted bail on Thursday, August 21, with his initial GHS 10 million bail reduced to GHS 5 million with two sureties.
As part of his bail conditions, the artiste is required to report to EOCO three times a week.
The Lamborghini Controversy
The vehicle at the center of the investigation was traced to Shatta Wale by EOCO after being flagged by the FBI and the US Department of Justice (DOJ).
The car was originally associated with Nana Kwabena Amuah, a Ghanaian currently serving a prison sentence in the US for his role in the large-scale fraud operation.
Shatta Wale has claimed he bought the Lamborghini “off the street” from someone named “ZAK.”

However, he has not provided any formal documentation of ownership other than a customs declaration linked to Amuah.
Investigators are working to determine whether the musician knowingly purchased the proceeds of crime or was an unwitting party to the transaction.
Neither Shatta Wale nor his team has commented on the spiritual cleansing ritual.
EOCO’s investigations into the matter are ongoing.
