Officials from the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) have conducted a raid at the residence of Ghanaian dancehall artiste, Shatta Wale, in connection with an ongoing investigation into suspected stolen vehicles.
The operation, which took place on Tuesday morning, August 5 was carried out by EOCO’s special investigations team. While the full details remain under wraps, sources close to the agency confirmed that the search was part of broader efforts to trace vehicles believed to have been unlawfully brought into the country.
Speaking on condition of anonymity, a source familiar with the matter stated that EOCO acted on intelligence linking specific luxury vehicles to individuals within the entertainment industry, prompting the coordinated raid.
It is unclear at this stage whether any arrests were made or vehicles impounded during the operation. Authorities say investigations are ongoing and a public statement will be issued once preliminary findings are confirmed.
Shatta Wale, known offstage as Charles Nii Armah Mensah, has not officially responded to the development. However, the news has sparked considerable attention on social media, with fans and industry players expressing both concern and support for the award-winning musician.
In recent years, EOCO has intensified its clampdown on financial and property-related crimes, particularly those involving high-profile individuals. The agency has urged the public to refrain from speculation as it works to establish the facts of the case.
A spokesperson for EOCO reassured the public that the investigation is being handled with the utmost professionalism and due process. “No one is above the law. We are simply following the evidence and ensuring that all procedures are carried out fairly,” the spokesperson said.
As the story develops, many Ghanaians are closely watching for updates, hoping for clarity and transparency in how the matter is handled.
