The Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) has granted bail to dancehall artist Charles Nii Armah, popularly known as Shatta Wale, under strict conditions.
His media manager, Samuel Atuobi Baah, also called Sammy Flex, confirmed in a video update that the artist’s legal team and management are working to meet the bail requirements for his release by Thursday, August 21, 2025.
“Before proceeding with the case, EOCO has set a bail of ten million Ghana cedis (GH₵ 10 million) with two sureties. I assure you, the dancehall king’s management and legal team are working tirelessly to resolve this,” he explained.
Flex further clarified that, contrary to circulating reports, the case relates specifically to taxes on Shatta Wale’s Lamborghini and his business operations.
Shatta Wale was taken into custody on Wednesday, August 20, 2025, as part of EOCO’s probe into tax compliance regarding his yellow Lamborghini.
According to his team, “Mr. Mensah presented himself voluntarily at the EOCO offices this afternoon along with his lawyer Cephas Biyuo, to assist with investigations.”
