Africa-Press – Ghana. Mr Sammy Baah, the Public Relations Officer (PRO) of Ghanaian musician Charles Nii Armah Mensah a.k.a Shatta Wale has confirmed the artiste’s detention by the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO).
According to the manager, Shatta Wale was detained over inquiries relating to tax obligations over the purchase of a Lamborghini vehicle.
It would be recalled that EOCO earlier in August seized the Lamborghini vehicle from Shatta Wale’s residence, stating that it was tied to proceeds of a criminal enterprise.
“This follows an inquiry related to the tax obligation on the purchase of a yellow Lamborghini vehicle. Mr Mensah presented himself voluntarily at the EOCO offices this afternoon along with his lawyer, Cephas Biyuo, to assist with investigations.
“We want to assure all fans and the general public that his legal team is fully engaged and actively working with authorities to resolve the matter.
“They are taking all necessary steps to secure his release at the earliest opportunity,” Shatta Wale’s PRO stated in a social media statement.
It also urged the SM Family and all well-wishers to remain calm and avoid any speculations.
“We have the utmost confidence in the judicial process. Management and his legal representatives will return to the EOCO offices tomorrow morning to continue these discussions.
“We will provide further updates as appropriate,” the statement ended.
