US authorities have connected custody to convicted fraudster Nana Kwabena Amuah. EOCO and the FBI Collaborate to Seize Shatta Wale’s Lamborghini Urus
A 2019 Lamborghini Urus was seized from the home of Ghanaian dancehall performer Shatta Wale in Trassaco Valley, Accra, according to confirmation from the Economic and Organized Crime Office (EOCO). In response to a request from the US Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the operation was carried out in June 2025.
Context of the Seizures
The fancy car was found to have been acquired with money obtained through the illegal business of Nana Kwabena Amuah, a Ghanaian who is presently serving an 86-month sentence in the United States for a number of financial offenses. The Lamborghini is anticipated to make a contribution toward Amuah’s roughly $4 million payment to his victims.
Operational Specifics
The Surveillance and Asset Recovery Unit (SARU) of EOCO conducted the seizure in a professional and legal manner. According to reports, Shatta Wale, who was present throughout the operation, begged the authorities to keep the seizure confidential because he was worried about the possible harm to his reputation. He is currently in the custody of EOCO after being permitted to willingly turn over the car.
Important Details of the Seizures
*The Seizure*: As part of a continuing investigation into financial crimes committed by Nana Kwabena Amuah, the Lamborghini Urus was taken from Shatta Wale’s home in Accra’s Trassaco Valley.
