Ghanaian dancehall star Shatta Wale, born Charles Nii Armah Mensah Jr., has been detained by the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) over an alleged investigation into his tax obligations.
His management confirmed the development in a statement released by publicist Sammy Baah Flex on X.com on Tuesday, August 20, linking the case to the purchase of a yellow Lamborghini that triggered scrutiny from investigators.
“This follows an inquiry related to tax obligations on the purchase of a yellow Lamborghini vehicle,” the statement read.
Shatta Wale, accompanied by his lawyer Cephas Biyuo, reportedly presented himself voluntarily at EOCO’s offices in Accra to assist with the probe.
His management assured fans that the situation is under control.
“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.”
