- Madina MP Francis Xavier Sosu has advised Shatta Wale and his legal team to treat the ongoing EOCO and FBI investigations with seriousness.
- The probe centers on the artiste’s alleged failure to prove lawful ownership of a Lamborghini Urus.
- Sosu warned that undermining legal processes could have serious consequences and send the wrong message to fans.
- Shatta Wale has since been released on revised bail terms and must report to EOCO three times a week.
As legal scrutiny intensifies around Shatta Wale’s Lamborghini Urus, Member of Parliament for Madina, Francis Xavier Sosu, is urging the dancehall star and his legal team to approach the investigation with full seriousness.
The case, which involves both Ghana’s Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), centers on allegations that Shatta Wale failed to provide credible documentation proving lawful ownership of the luxury vehicle. EOCO confirmed in an official statement that the artiste could not produce valid records linking him to the car’s acquisition.
Speaking on Citi FM, Sosu acknowledged his admiration for Shatta Wale but stressed that legal matters of this nature are not to be taken lightly. He pointed out that the involvement of the FBI, coupled with Ghana’s bilateral agreements on crime, means the stakes are higher than many realize. According to the MP, trivializing such investigations could not only jeopardize the artiste’s freedom but also send a dangerous message to young fans who look up to him.
Meanwhile, Shatta Wale’s lawyer, Cephas Boyuo, confirmed that his client has been released from EOCO custody after meeting revised bail conditions. The original GH¢10 million bail was reduced to GH¢5 million, with two sureties still required. As part of the bail terms, Shatta Wale must report to EOCO three times a week.
