Dancehall artiste Charles Nii Armah Mensah, popularly known as Shatta Wale, has been released from the custody of the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) after fulfilling revised bail conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
His lawyer, Cephas Boyuo, confirmed to Citi News that the initial bail amount of GH\u20b510 million was reduced to GH\u20b55 million, requiring two sureties. \u201cAs part of the bail conditions, he is to report to EOCO three times a week,\u201d Mr. Boyuo added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This release follows days of legal proceedings tied to allegations concerning the acquisition of a Lamborghini Urus\u2014specifically, alleged failure to prove legitimate ownership of the vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An official statement issued by EOCO on Thursday, August 21, 2025, noted that Shatta Wale could not furnish credible proof of ownership or lawful acquisition of the vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He claimed to have bought it \u201cfrom the Street,\u201d allegedly dealing through an individual named \u201cZAK\u201d via WhatsApp, whom he could neither properly identify nor contact again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
EOCO also highlighted that Shatta Wale failed to present any formal documents\u2014such as a sales receipt or transfer papers. The only document he possessed was a customs declaration form bearing the name Nana Kwabena Amuah, who is currently serving a prison sentence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In parallel developments, EOCO had granted bail under tough conditions, and the artiste\u2019s media manager, Samuel Atuobi Baah (Sammy Flex), confirmed in a video update that the legal team had been actively working to meet those requirements in hopes of securing his release by Thursday, August 21, 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As announcements were made, Shatta Wale\u2019s fans had gathered outside EOCO\u2019s offices, demanding his release. Sammy Flex assured followers that \u201call efforts are underway to meet the bail terms,\u201d signaling strong management coordination.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
