The Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) has granted bail to dancehall artiste Charles Nii Armah Mensah, popularly known as Shatta Wale, in the sum of GH₵10 million with two sureties, each to be justified.
This was contained in a statement issued by the Head of Public Relations at EOCO. The statement explained that the musician will be released from custody once the sureties are presented and inspection successfully conducted.
The development follows his detention by EOCO on Wednesday, August 20, 2025, a move that has sparked mixed reactions.
According to the statement, Shatta Wale, accompanied by his lawyers, reported to the EOCO offices at 5 pm for interrogation, although the session had originally been scheduled for 11 am.
Despite the late arrival, officers stayed beyond working hours to conduct the questioning, which forms part of an ongoing probe into his yellow Lamborghini and related tax compliance matters.
The interrogation was completed around 9 pm. However, EOCO noted that Shatta Wale has been unable to identify the person from whom he allegedly purchased the vehicle for $150,000, except to say he bought it “from the street” from someone probably called “ZAK.”
The artiste also reportedly told investigators that he has lost contact with the seller and has no supporting documentation, such as receipts, to prove ownership or purchase of the vehicle, aside from a customs declaration document currently in his possession.
