Shatta Wale was detained by the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) in August 2025 in connection with investigations into the purchase of his yellow 2019 Lamborghini Urus.
The dancehall musician's management announced his detention in a press statement signed by his Public Relations Officer (PRO), Sammy Baah Flex, on Wednesday, August 20, 2025.
His detention caused massive public uproar, with many of his supporters storming the EOCO headquarters in Accra to demand his release.
According to an official statement from EOCO, Shatta Wale was questioned for nearly four hours and was unable to identify the person who sold him the car.
Officials from the financial crime agency had previously visited the Street Crown hitmaker's Trasacco Valley home and seized the car at the request of the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the US Department of Justice.
The security agencies had linked Shatta Wale's car to a Ghanaian man named Nana Kwabena Amuah, who is currently serving an 86-month (seven years) jail term in the US over some financial crimes.
Shatta Wale was released from EOCO's custody in the evening on Thursday, August 21, 2025, after meeting his bail conditions, following its reduction from GH¢10 million to GH¢5 million with two sureties.
The SM boss's bail conditions also required him to report to EOCO three times a week as they continue with their investigations into the case.
Captain Smart levels allegations against EOCO boss
On Monday, February 23, 2026, Captain Smart slammed the EOCO boss, Raymond Archer, over his handling of Shatta Wale's case on his Onua Maakye morning show.
He accused the EOCO boss of harbouring hatred for the Ghanaian youth and personally writing a letter to the FBI to report the dancehall musician's Lamborghini Urus as stolen and demand its confiscation.
The Onua TV presenter claimed that the SM boss lost a deal worth over $75 million due to his case with the security agency.
Captain Smart also challenged him to release FBI documentation showing that Shatta Wale's seized Lamborghini Urus was linked to alleged criminal activity.
He insisted the vehicle was not stolen and argued that if the FBI had formally cleared the car, EOCO should make that evidence public to avoid embarrassment and settle the matter transparently.

Alleged letter emerges amid Captain Smart's claims
Speaking on his Black Pot show on Tuesday, February 24, 2026, Blakk Rasta criticised Captain Smart over his allegations against Raymond Archer.
The 3FM presenter claimed that Shatta Wale purchased the alleged stolen vehicle from the embattled former Director of the National Signals Bureau (NSB), Kwabena Adu-Boahene, who is currently facing prosecution for alleged corruption and financial crimes.
He showed a video of the yellow Lamborghini Urus parked alongside other luxury vehicles, the former NSB official allegedly rented out to prominent men at the Mövenpick Hotel in Accra before Shatta Wale purchased it.
