Dancehall star Shatta Wale has formally acknowledged receipt of a court document from Ghana’s Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) concerning his yellow Lamborghini, which authorities intend to ship to the United States.

The update was confirmed by his Public Relations Manager, Samuel Atuobi Baah, popularly known as Sammy Flex.

In a Facebook statement, he disclosed that the matter has been handed over to the artist’s lawyers for review and appropriate legal action.

He assured supporters that the issue is being handled through the proper legal processes.

The controversy traces back to August 2025, when EOCO officials seized a 2019 Lamborghini Urus from Shatta Wale’s residence at Trassaco Valley in Accra.

The operation was reportedly carried out in collaboration with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the U.S. Justice Department.

Authorities linked the luxury vehicle to funds allegedly connected to Nana Kwabena Amuah, a Ghanaian national currently serving an 86-month prison sentence in the United States over financial crime convictions.

According to EOCO, Shatta Wale was unable to present documentation confirming his ownership of the car.

He is said to have claimed that he purchased the vehicle from an individual identified only as “ZAK” via WhatsApp, but could not produce receipts or official transfer records.

The available documents reportedly bore the name of Nana Kwabena Amuah, further raising questions about the vehicle’s origin.

The newly served court document reportedly seeks Shatta Wale’s consent to allow the Lamborghini to be transported to the United States.

There, it is expected to be used as part of restitution efforts connected to Amuah’s case.

EOCO has maintained that investigations are ongoing, noting that Shatta Wale and a former senior officer of the National Signal Bureau remain persons of interest.

Meanwhile, U.S. authorities are expected to submit a formal Mutual Legal Assistance request to the Government of Ghana to support the process.
