SHATTA WALE’S Lamborghini Seized as Joint EOCO–FBI Storms HIS RESIDENCE
It turns out one of Ghana’s most talked‑about dancehall stars has just lost one of his flashiest toys — and not to a car thief, but to a joint operation between Ghana’s Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO), the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and the U.S. Justice Department.
In June this year, EOCO’s Surveillance and Asset Recovery Unit (SARU) pulled up at Shatta Wale’s Trassaco Valley Phase 1 mansion and left with a 2019 Lamborghini Urus — the kind of machine that announces your arrival before you even step out.
This wasn’t just a random car grab. The vehicle is tied to the murky money trail of Nana Kwabena Amuah, now serving 86 months in a U.S. prison for a buffet of financial crimes. Amuah owes $4.74 million in restitution, and the Lambo is on the menu for recovery.
EOCO says Wale didn’t fight the seizure — but not because he wasn’t worried. According to the agency, the hitmaker pleaded to hand over the car quietly, worried that seeing the prized SUV roll away under EOCO escort would dent his brand. He got his wish — no sirens, no public drama — but the car still ended up in EOCO’s custody.
Officers were armed during the search, but EOCO insists that’s just “standard safety protocol” — nothing personal.
Now, U.S. authorities plan to file a Mutual Legal Assistance (MLA) request to have the Lambo shipped back as part of Amuah’s restitution package. Meanwhile, Shatta Wale and a former National Signals Bureau officer have been tagged as persons of interest and will soon be invited for “a chat” with investigators.
The final EOCO report, once wrapped up, may also land on the FBI’s desk — which means this high‑end car drama is far from over.
