The Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) has granted bail to dancehall star Charles Nii Armah Mensah, popularly known as Shatta Wale, under strict conditions.
According to his media manager, Samuel Atuobi Baah (Sammy Flex), the artist’s management and legal team are working to meet the bail requirements for his release by Thursday, August 21, 2025.
“Before the case proceeds, EOCO has set bail at GH₵10 million with two sureties. I can assure fans that Shatta Wale’s management and legal team are working tirelessly to settle this,” Flex said in a video update.
He further clarified that the case concerns taxes on Shatta Wale’s Lamborghini and his business operations, dismissing earlier speculation about unrelated issues.
Shatta Wale was taken into custody on Wednesday, August 20, 2025, as part of EOCO’s probe into tax compliance regarding his yellow Lamborghini. His team explained that he voluntarily reported to the EOCO offices with his lawyer, Cephas Biyuo, to assist with investigations.
