Shatta Wale has received court document over shipment of yellow Lamborghini to US – Sammy Flex confirms
In a brief post on Facebook, Tuesday, February 24, 2026 Sammy Flex said the matter has been referred to the artiste’s legal representatives for appropriate action.
The Public Relations Manager of the Shatta Movement, Sammy Flex, has confirmed receipt of a court document issued at the instance of the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) concerning a request for dancehall artiste Shatta Wale’s consent in relation to the shipment of a yellow Lamborghini to the United States of America.
In a brief post on Facebook, Tuesday, February 24, 2026 Sammy Flex said the matter has been referred to the artiste’s legal representatives for appropriate action.
“I wish to formally confirm, in my capacity as Public Relations Manager of Shatta Movement, that we have received a court document issued at the instance of EOCO regarding a request for Shatta Wale’s consent in relation to the shipment of the yellow Lamborghini to the United States of America,” he stated.
He added that the issue is being handled through the proper legal channels.
“The matter has been duly referred to our legal representatives, who are handling it through the appropriate legal channels. We appreciate your understanding,” the statement concluded.
The development has sparked interest among fans and industry watchers, although further details about the nature of EOCO’s request have not yet been made public.
Background
It will be recalled that on August 5, 2025 EOCO seized a 2019 Lamborghini Urus from the residence of dancehall musician Shatta Wale.
This was contained in a press release issued by EOCO and signed by the Acting Executive Director, Raymond Archer.
The release stated in June 2025, the Economic and Organized Crime Office, acting on a 2023 request from the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) and the United States Justice Department, undertook an operation which led to a lawful search at Wale’s home in Trassaco Valley Phase 1, Accra.
The operation which was carried out by the Surveillance and Asset Recovery Unit (SARU) of EOCO, led to the discovery and seizure of a 2019 Lamborghini Urus which the FBI and the Justice Department have tied to the proceeds of the criminal enterprise of one Nana Kwabena Amuah, who at the time of the publication is serving an 86-month sentence for several financial crimes in the US.
The statement added:
“The car was seized from Charles Nii Armah, aka Shatta Wale. The officers were professional and civil, and the search and seizure occurred without incident. Nii Armah had pleaded with officers not to make the seizure public because the vehicle was a big part of his brand, and if his supporters saw the vehicle being driven away in the company of EOCO, it would damage his brand. Nii Armah was allowed to surrender the vehicle himself, which is currently in EOCO’s possession. It is standard safety protocol for officers of the Surveillance and Asset Recovery Unit (SARU) to carry weapons while on operations for their safety.”
The FBI and the Justice Department intend to send a formal Mutual Legal Assistance (MLA) request to the Government of Ghana to return the car to the United States as part of Nana Kwabena Amuah’s $4,743,443 restitution.
The statement further noted:
“Charles Nii Armah, aka Shatta Wale, and a former senior officer of the National Signal Bureau (NSB) have been assessed as persons of interest and will be invited by EOCO to assist in further ongoing investigations in the coming days. EOCO may share the final investigations report with the FBI and the Justice Department as part of our ongoing cooperation.”
Subsequently, the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) said Dancehall artiste, Shatta Wale was not able to provide evidence to proof he owns and purchase the 2019 Yellow Lamborghini Urus which had been seized.

In a statement on Thursday, August 21, 2025, EOCO said after interrogations with the artiste who was invited for questioning on Wednesday, he could not tell officials the identity of the individual from whom he purchased the Lamborghini vehicle.
EOCO says the artiste claimed the person from whom he bought the vehicle contacted him on WhatsApp and whose contact he no longer possess.
“So far, Charles Nii Armah Mensah has been unable to identify the person from whom he purchased the said Lamborghini Urus vehicle except to say that he purchased it from the “Street” and from someone possibly called “ZAK” who may have contacted him on WhatsApp but whose identity he does not know and whose contact he has thrown away.
“So far, Charles Nii Armah Mensah does not also possess any documentation in terms of receipt or transfer documents which shows that he owns or purchased the said vehicle except a custom declaration document in his possession bearing the name of Nana Kwabena Amuah who is currently in jail,” EOCO stated.
