"They Are Lucky": Shatta Wale Reignites Feud with EOCO Over Lamborghini Seizure

The "Shatta Movement" leader is not backing down. During an electrifying performance at the Gomoa Easter Carnival (GomoaFest) on Sunday, April 5, 2026, Shatta Wale used his time on stage to address his ongoing legal battle with the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO). Reflecting on the high-profile seizure of his 2019 Lamborghini Urus, the dancehall star told thousands of fans that the agency was "lucky" he wasn't arrested during the initial confrontation at his home.

The feud, which has seen more twists than a movie script since it began in mid-2025, centers on a luxury vehicle that EOCO claims was purchased with proceeds from a $4 million criminal enterprise in the United States. While Shatta Wale has fluctuated between calling the EOCO boss his "best friend" and his "enemy," his latest comments suggest the truce is officially over.

"I Will Retaliate": The Gomoa Statement

Addressing the crowd at the maiden Gomoa Easter Carnival, an event spearheaded by MP Kwame Asare Obeng (A Plus), Shatta Wale recounted the moment officials arrived at his gate. He emphasized his desire for mutual respect but warned that he remains a formidable opponent if provoked:

"I don't act foolishly towards people because I don't want anyone acting foolishly towards me... They're lucky they didn't arrest me [at my house], like they'd see."

The Legal Reality: Stolen Goods and Restitution

Despite Shatta Wale’s claims of brand damage, EOCO maintains that the vehicle is tied to Nana Kwabena Amuah, who is currently serving an 86 month sentence in the U.S. for financial crimes. Under Ghana's Sale of Goods Act (1962) and the Mutual Legal Assistance Act, the car is considered part of a $4.7 million restitution order.

Shatta Wale has consistently argued that he was a victim of circumstance, stating that if he had known the car's history, he would have "quietly replaced it" without the public spectacle.

Advocacy at GomoaFest

The performance wasn't just about his legal woes. Shatta Wale also used the platform to advocate for socialite Abu Trica, who is reportedly facing extradition to the U.S. over romance scam charges. The musician rallied the crowd with chants of "Free Abu," arguing that a lack of jobs drives Ghanaian youth toward cybercrime.
