Ghanaian dancehall star Shatta Wale, born Charles Nii Armah Mensah Jr., has been detained by the Economic and Organized Crime Office (EOCO) in connection with an investigation into his tax obligations.
The development was confirmed in a statement issued on Tuesday, August 20, by his publicist, Sammy Baah Flex, who disclosed that the inquiry was triggered by the purchase of a yellow Lamborghini.
“This follows an inquiry related to tax obligations on the purchase of a yellow Lamborghini vehicle,” the statement noted.
Shatta Wale, accompanied by his lawyer Cephas Biyuo, reportedly presented himself voluntarily at EOCO’s offices in Accra to assist with the probe.
Sources close to the case suggest that investigators are examining whether the luxury car acquisition aligns with his declared tax records.
In the statement, Shatta Wale’s management assured fans and the public that the matter is being handled with urgency.
“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,” it added.
