Shatta Wale Granted GH₵10m Bail Over Lamborghini Case
Shatta Wale, born Charles Nii Armah Mensah Jr., has been granted bail of GH₵10 million with two sureties after being held by the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) over a luxury car scandal involving a yellow Lamborghini Urus.
The musician reported himself to EOCO headquarters on Wednesday, August 20, 2025, accompanied by his lawyer, Cephas Biyuo, to support ongoing investigations. His manager, Samuel Atuobi Baah (Sammy Flex), confirmed the bail arrangement, noting that the legal team is working to meet the requirements by Thursday, August 21.
According to EOCO, the case revolves around tax obligations related to the luxury car and activities connected to Shatta Wale’s company. The matter dates back to an operation in June, when officials seized a 2019 Lamborghini Urus from the artist’s residence in Trassaco Valley.
A statement signed by EOCO’s Acting Executive Director, Raymond Archer, revealed that the seizure followed a 2023 request from the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Department of Justice (DOJ).
U.S. authorities linked the vehicle to Nana Kwabena Amuah, a Ghanaian currently serving an 86-month prison sentence in the United States for financial crimes. The FBI and DOJ are expected to formally request the return of the car to the U.S. as part of a $4.7 million restitution order against Amuah.
EOCO further disclosed that Shatta Wale had initially pleaded with officials not to publicise the seizure, citing concerns about the negative impact on his brand image.
The investigative body also confirmed that Shatta Wale, along with a former senior officer of the National Signal Bureau, remains a person of interest in the ongoing probe and may face additional questioning.

Court Halts Daddy Lumba’s Burial Plans; Orders Fresh Stakeholder Meeting
The Accra High Court has issued an injunction stopping the maternal family of the late musician, Charles Kwadwo Fosu, widely known as Daddy Lumba, from proceeding with his burial. The order restrains the first respondent, Kofi Owusu, the family head, from organising any funeral activities until the case is settled.
This ruling follows rising tension over the musician’s death and funeral arrangements. Relatives have dragged key figures to court, accusing them of secrecy, mismanagement, and attempts to take control of the memorial plans without proper involvement of the immediate family.
The court also barred Transitions Funeral Home from releasing the body until a final decision is made.
In its ruling, the court observed that the immediate family appeared to have been sidelined in the planning process. Although postponing the burial may increase costs, the judge stressed that proper consultation and due process must be followed.
While acknowledging that the family head holds traditional authority over funeral matters, the court stated that such authority must be exercised in consultation with the immediate family. It further directed the first respondent to convene a stakeholder meeting within three weeks to agree on a new burial date.
The court also instructed that all funds raised for the funeral be kept separate from accounts belonging to the Daddy Lumba Memorial Foundation. The applicants were ordered to file an affidavit with the court registrar.
This development comes on the heels of a recent ruling by the Kumasi High Court in a high profile case involving two women claiming to be the late musician’s spouses. The decision, which appeared to question the validity of a marriage certificate reportedly issued in Germany to the recognised wife, Akosua Serwaa, while seemingly favouring claims by the alleged partner, Odo Broni, has sparked wider legal and social debate.
