After spending a night in detention with the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) over an ongoing investigation involving his 2019 yellow Lamborghini Urus, dancehall musician Shatta Wale has made his first public appearance.
In a video that has gone viral online on social media on August 23, 2025, Shatta Wale, dressed in an all-purple outfit, was spotted on the streets of Accra with his newly purchased purple Lamborghini Urus.
The musician who is still in the trends, following the ongoing investigation, was also seen throwing money on the streets, as fans cheered him on.
In another video sighted by GhanaWeb, fans of the “On God” hitmaker were heard expressing disappointment with the EOCO, adding that “We are not going to jail.”
Background
Shatta Wale was detained on Wednesday, August 20, 2025, after voluntarily appearing at the EOCO headquarters in Accra with his lawyer, Cephas Biyuo.
The inquiry centres on allegations of irregularities surrounding the luxury vehicle, which was earlier seized by authorities on suspicion of being connected to a wider financial scandal in the United States.
Also, a probe of possible breaches of Ghana’s tax regulations relating to the car is being conducted.
Shatta Wale was released on Thursday, August 21, 2025, after meeting bail conditions of GH¢5 million with two sureties.
