The Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) has confirmed the seizure of a luxury Lamborghini Urus SUV from popular Ghanaian musician Shatta Wale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The vehicle is said to be linked to convicted Ghanaian-American fraudster Nana Kwabena Amuah, also known as Philip Osei Tutu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The high-end vehicle, which was in the possession of Ghanaian dancehall artist Shatta Wale at the time of the seizure, was reportedly acquired using proceeds from Amuah\u2019s multi-million-dollar romance and business email compromise schemes in the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a statement, EOCO revealed that the confiscation followed a formal request from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the United States Department of Justice, who had identified the vehicle as an asset purchased with fraudulently acquired funds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
EOCO said Shatta Wale, who was present when its officials visited his residence, initially resisted efforts to take the vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, he later complied and voluntarily handed over the keys after learning the true nature of the matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
EOCO\u2019s statement clarifies that the agency acted within its legal mandate under Ghana\u2019s Proceeds of Crime Act.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
