The management of dancehall artiste Shatta Wale, known privately as Charles Nii Armah Mensah Jr., has confirmed his detention by the Economic and Organized Crime Office (EOCO) on Wednesday, August 20.
According to a statement shared on Facebook by his manager, Samuel Atuobi Baah, popularly known as Sammy Flex, the development is linked to an investigation into the tax obligations of a yellow Lamborghini owned by the musician.
Shatta Wale is reported to have presented himself voluntarily at EOCO’s offices in the company of his lawyer, Cephas Biyuo, to assist with the ongoing inquiry.
Management assured fans and the general public that his legal team is fully engaged and working closely with the authorities to resolve the matter and secure his release as soon as possible.
“We urge the SM Family and all well-wishers to remain calm and avoid any speculation. We have the utmost confidence in the judicial process,” the statement read.
It added that Shatta Wale’s management and legal representatives will return to EOCO Thursday morning to continue discussions with investigators.
Further updates are expected in due course.
