🔥 “Lamborghini Showdown: Shatta Wale vs EOCO — ‘Raymond Archer EOCO Boss, Ibe You Go Make NDC Go Out of Power’”
🚨 What Happened?
Ghanaian dancehall superstar Shatta Wale is in the headlines once again—but this time, it’s not for a hit song or stage drama. On August 5, 2025, the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO), backed by the U.S. FBI, seized his 2019 Lamborghini Urus in Accra.
The reason? Authorities say the luxury ride was purchased with money linked to a $4.7 million fraud scheme operated by convicted Ghanaian-American Nana Kwabena Amuah, currently jailed in the U.S.
