EOCO probes Shatta Wale over Lamborghini
On Wednesday, August 20, 2025, the dancehall artist was detained by EOCO following an investigation into his purchase of a yellow 2019 Lamborghini Urus.
The crime department reportedly confiscated the car as it was linked to an FBI case, in which Shatta Wale and a former officer of the National Signals Bureau were persons of interest.
A press release by the security agency noted that the artist's arrest was in connection with several criminal investigations, with detectives probing his alleged involvement in money laundering and tax evasion.
On Thursday, August 21, 2025, Shatta Movement (SM) fans stormed the headquarters of EOCO to demand the release of their leader. After several hours at the security agency, Shatta Wale was granted bail of GH¢10 million with two sureties.

He further sent a message to the EOCO boss, thanking him for the help in carrying out the legal processes for his release.
Shatta Wale had maintained an opposing stance towards Raymond Archer after his Lamborghini was seized, making his appreciation of the EOCO boss quite questionable.

Captain Smart drops allegations against EOCO boss
Speaking on ' Onua Maakye' on Thursday, February 25, 2026, Captain Smart claimed that Raymond Archer was a bad person, alleging that he was behind the arrest of Shatta Wale in connection with his yellow Lamborghini Urus.
According to him, the EOCO boss purportedly petitioned the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to arrest the dancehall artist not long after his vehicle was shipped to Ghana.
He alleged that, after thorough investigations, the FBI realised that the vehicle was genuinely purchased and there was no case of theft.
“I am very serious this morning, and I can put my job on the line; EOCO boss, Raymond Archer, is a very bad person. He was behind Shatta Wale's arrest. He wrote a letter to the FBI, of which I have a copy, to probe him after he shipped his Lamborghini to Ghana. He was later led down after investigations conducted by the FBI showed that the car was not stolen but rightfully purchased,” he said.
