Shatta Wale’s management has released an official statement after the musician was taken into custody by the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) over an investigation linked to his tax compliance regarding the purchase of a yellow Lamborghini.
The statement, issued on Wednesday, August 20, explained that the dancehall star appeared at EOCO’s offices voluntarily in the company of his lawyer, Cephas Biyuo, to cooperate with the ongoing probe. However, he was later detained during the process.
The team appealed to fans to stay calm and avoid speculations, assuring them that they have full trust in the legal system. They further revealed that both management and Shatta Wale’s legal counsel would return to EOCO the following day to continue engagements with the authorities.
They also promised to keep the public updated with new developments as the case progresses.
This incident comes just days after the singer’s newly acquired purple Lamborghini Urus arrived in Ghana, with a viral video showing the exotic ride being offloaded from a shipping container.
The statement released by Shatta Wale’s manager, Sammy Flex, read:
“The management of dancehall artist Shatta Wale (Charles Nii Armah Mensah Jr.) is issuing this statement following his detention by the Economic and Organized Crime Office (EOCO) today. This follows an inquiry related to tax obligations on the purchase of a yellow Lamborghini vehicle. Mr. Mensah presented himself voluntarily at the EOCO offices this afternoon along with his lawyer Cephas Biyuo, to assist with investigations. 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. We urge the SM Family and all well-wishers to remain calm and avoid any speculation. We have the utmost confidence in the judicial process. Management and his legal representatives will return to the EOCO offices tomorrow morning to continue these discussions. We will provide further updates as appropriate.”
