In a thorough statement, EOCO disclosed that Shatta Wale requested discretion
when they visited the artist's home to pick up the car, which was purportedly
bought using money from a fraud operation in the United States.
“He did not want the public or his fanbase
to witness the alleged stolen vehicle being driven away in the company of EOCO
officers, as he feared it would damage his brand”
In response to his request, EOCO stated
that:
“Nii Armah
was allowed to surrender the vehicle himself, which is currently in the
possession of EOCO”
The 2019 Lamborghini Urus is allegedly
connected to “the proceeds of the criminal enterprise of one Nana Kwabena
Amuah,” a 31-year-old Ghanaian-American who is presently serving an 86-month
term in the United States for a number of financial offenses, the agency said.
In the meantime, Shatta Wale attacked Raymond Archer, the Acting Executive
Director of EOCO, in a Facebook post dated August 5, 2025, alleging that he had
ordered a violent raid on his home.
Raymond
Archer, EOCO boss, ibe you go make NDC go out of power next 4 years. Bringing
guns to my house was uncalled for!!! He wrote.
Nonetheless,
EOCO insisted that its personnel acted properly during the operation. The
agency stated that "the search and seizure were conducted in a civil and
respectful manner."
"It is a standard safety protocol for officers of the Surveillance and
Asset Recovery Unit (SARU) to be armed during operations to ensure their
safety," EOCO explained in response to the claim that a gun was used
during the visit.
Additionally, EOCO said that in 2023, the US Department of Justice and the
Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) initially asked for an investigation into
Shatta Wale's Lamborghini Urus.
“The FBI and the Justice Department intend to send a formal Mutual Legal Assistance (MLA) to the Government of Ghana to return the car to the United States as part of Nana Kwabena Amuah’s $4,743,443 restitution,” the statement concluded.
