In an interview with the media, Sammy Flex announced that Shatta Wale's bail conditions were reduced from GH¢10 million to GH¢5 million with two sureties before he was able to secure his release from EOCO's custody.
The new bail conditions also require the dancehall musician to report to EOCO three times a week as they continue with their investigations.
Why was Shatta Wale being detained?
In a press statement on Wednesday, August 20, 2025, the management of Shatta Wale announced that he had been detained by the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) in connection with investigations into the purchase of his 2019 Lamborghini Urus.
According to an official statement from EOCO, Shatta Wale was questioned for nearly four hours and was unable to identify the person who sold him the car.
Officials from the financial crime agency had previously visited his Trasacco Valley home and seized the car after a request from the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the US Department of Justice.
The security agencies had linked Shatta Wale's car to a Ghanaian man named Nana Kwabena Amuah, who is currently serving an 86-month (seven years) jail term in the US over some financial crimes.
