Ghanaian dancehall musician, Charles Nii Armah Mensah, popularly known as Shatta Wale, has lost at least $2 million in distribution business since Ghana’s Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) seized his luxurious Lamborghini Urus SUV after the US Department of Justice and the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) raised a fraud case over the high-end car, his Media and Public Relations Manager, Samuel Atuobi Baah, otherwise known as Sammy Flex, has revealed.

In a social media post, Sammy Flex wrote: “Damn! Now these reports circulating online are disturbing business after this 2million dollar distribution deal of the Voice of the Crown EP fell out. I am getting worried Charley!!!”

Shatta Wale confirmed the $2 million loss in distribution business by reposting Sammy Flex’s post, saying “Say no more boss, Epain we all but God deh…Stay strong.”

As Africa Publicity previously reported, the Economic and Organised Crime Office announced recently that it had seized a luxurious Lamborghini Urus SUV from Shatta Wale after the FBI and the US Department of Justice raised a fraud case over the high-end car.

According to EOCO in a statement dated Tuesday, August 5, 2025, Lamborghini was linked to convicted Ghanaian-American fraudster, Nana Kwabena Amuah, also known as Philip Osei Tutu.

EOCO said the Lamborghini was in the possession of Shatta Wale at the time of its seizure.

The Economic and Organised Crime Office said Lamborghini was reportedly acquired using proceeds from Amuah’s multi-million-dollar romance scams and business email compromise schemes in the United States.

According to EOCO, the seizure of the high-end car followed a formal request from the FBI and the United States Department of Justice.

It says the FBI and US Justice Department had identified the Lamborghini an asset purchased with fraudulently acquired funds.

EOCO says Shatta Wale, who was present when its officials visited his residence, initially resisted efforts to take the vehicle.

However, he later complied and voluntarily handed over the keys after learning the true nature of the matter.

In its statement, EOCO clarified that it acted within its legal mandate under Ghana’s Proceeds of Crime Act, disclosing that the car was among several properties flagged in the US judgment that sentenced Amuah to 84 months in prison and ordered him to pay over $4 million in restitution to his victims.

“The vehicle has been duly secured and will be handed over to the United States authorities in accordance with the judgement issued by the US District Court,” according to EOCO.

It says “The FBI and the Justice Department intend to send a formal Mutual Legal Assistance (MLA) to the Government of Ghana to return the car to the United States as part of Nana Kwabena Amuah’s $4,743,443 restitution.”
