Renowned Ghanaian artiste, Charles Nii Armah Mensah, popularly known as Shatta Wale, was released on a GH¢5 million bail on Thursday, August 21, 2025, after several hours of interrogation by the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO).

EOCO had stated that it invited Shatta Wale and interrogated him about his seized 2019 Lamborghini Urus, which had been identified by the United States (US) Justice Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) as the proceeds of a $4 million crime involving a Ghanaian, Nana Kwabena Amuah, who has been jailed in the US.

Following his release, Shatta Wale praised EOCO and its Acting Executive Director, Raymond Archer, for their professionalism, saying, "To all the staff of EOCO, you have been wonderful. At least when I came there, you really took me through the rightful processes that were needed. I just want to say God bless you. Mr Raymond Archer, I want to thank you so much for your understanding."

But this was not the case just weeks ago, after his Lamborghini Urus was seized.

Shatta Wale took to social media to chastise the EOCO boss and his outfit over the operation which led to the seizure of the car.

He warned EOCO and its Acting Executive Director, Raymond Archer, following what he described as an "unprovoked armed raid" on his residence.

In a TikTok live on August 5, 2025, the artiste expressed outrage over the incident and cautioned EOCO against making any further attempts to contact or invite him concerning an ongoing investigation.

"Raymond Archer, I will leave the car for you people. Don't come to my house. Don't let anybody invite me. That's why I have bought a new Lamborghini," he fumed.

"After this matter, Raymond Archer, don't even try to invite me or else it will be worse in this country," he added.

Shatta Wale accused the EOCO boss of using his position to harass citizens and warned that such actions could have political consequences for the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC).

The musician, who admitted that the car at the center of EOCO's interest was bought for $150,000, insisted he did not know of its alleged links to financial crimes.

He made it clear he wanted no further contact with EOCO.

Shatta Wale further lamented the treatment he has received despite his contributions to the Ghanaian music industry, adding that the ongoing situation could push him into politics.

"My music, the way I have suffered, and how they are treating me in this country, one day I will wake up and become president," he said.
