The Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) has disclosed the identity of the individual responsible for paying the customs duty on the striking yellow Lamborghini Urus discovered at the residence of popular Ghanaian dancehall musician Shatta Wale.
This luxury vehicle has been implicated in allegations of fraudulent activity. Shatta Wale, whose real name is Charles Nii Armah Mensah, was apprehended by EOCO on August 20, 2025, as part of an ongoing investigation into the ownership and legitimacy of the luxury car, which has drawn significant public attention.

In a detailed press statement issued on August 21, EOCO confirmed that the name of convicted fraudster Nana Kwabena Amuah appeared on the customs declaration documents submitted by Shatta Wale during the investigation.
Notably, Shatta Wale has failed to present any substantive documentation demonstrating that he purchased the car or that he is the rightful owner.
According to reports, Nana Kwabena Amuah has been serving a prison sentence in the United States for running elaborate, multi-million-dollar schemes involving romance scams and business email compromise tactics.
The connection between Nana Kwabena Amuah and the Lamborghini has raised serious red flags concerning the legitimacy of Shatta Wale’s acquisition of the vehicle.
Despite being released on bail, Shatta Wale has thus far been unable to provide clear evidence of ownership.
EOCO maintained in its release that he lacked the necessary receipts or legal documents that would typically affirm a transfer of ownership, instead only possessing a customs declaration form linked to Amuah.
"In our findings, Charles Nii Armah Mensah has not been able to supply any documentation, such as receipts or transfer papers, that would verify his purchase or ownership of the vehicle in question. The only document he has is a customs declaration, which explicitly bears the name of Nana Kwabena Amuah, who is currently incarcerated," EOCO's statement explained.

Shatta Wale meets bail requirements
Following his detention, Shatta Wale successfully met his bail conditions on Thursday, August 21, 2025. He was granted bail set at GH₵10 million, which was later reduced to GH₵5 million after spending a night in custody.
His legal team worked diligently throughout Thursday to secure his release, engaging in extensive discussions with EOCO officials.
The musician's devoted fans rallied outside EOCO’s office throughout the day, demonstrating their unwavering support until his eventual release from custody.
Shatta Wale's recent legal troubles have garnered substantial media coverage. He was embroiled in serious charges, including money laundering, tax evasion, tax fraud, and possession of the proceeds of crime, all of which are linked to the contentious acquisition of the 2019 yellow Lamborghini Urus.
