There was heightened drama at the premises of the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO), as hundreds of fans of dancehall artiste Shatta Wale trooped in to show support following his arrest.
Clad in branded T-shirts and waving placards, the visibly emotional fans chanted his name and sang some of his popular songs while demanding his immediate release.
Some insisted that the artiste was being unfairly targeted, while others appealed to the authorities to handle the matter with fairness and transparency.
Police officers were on high alert to maintain order as the crowd continued to swell, causing traffic disruptions along nearby routes.
Shatta Wale, born Charles Nii Armah Mensah Jr., was interrogated by EOCO on Wednesday 20th August in connection with investigations into the tax status of a yellow Lamborghini Urus.
He was however, granted GH₵ 10 million with two sureties, but remain in custody as his legal team and management work to meet the bail requirements.
The detention follows the seizure of the luxury car in early August 2025 in ongoing by EOCO, in collaboration with the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) into a suspected stolen vehicle.
The incident has since set social media buzzing, with “Free Shatta Wale” trending across various platforms as supporters and industry colleagues react to the arrest.
Adomonline’s photojournalist, Joseph Odotei, was present to capture these scenes.
