EOCO Boss under fire as Shatta Wale goes ballistic online

Ghanaian dancehall artiste Shatta Wale, born Charles Nii Armah Mensah, has strongly criticised the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) for what he describes as an armed invasion of his residence.

The vocal musician took to social media to vent his frustration, accusing EOCO officials of storming his home with guns during a recent operation linked to the seizure of a 2019 Lamborghini Urus. The luxury vehicle was confiscated earlier this week in connection with an international financial crime investigation involving a convicted fraudster currently serving time in the United States.

In a series of viral posts on social media, Shatta Wale did not hold back:

“EOCO BOSS, THE PRESIDENT OF GHANA DIDN’T PUT YOU IN THAT OFFICE TO COME AND HUMILIATE THE CITIZENS OF THIS COUNTRY… REMEMBER GOD NO SLEEP!!”

He also mentioned the name of EOCO’s boss, Raymond Archer, in another post, stating:

“Raymond Archer EOCO BOSS, Ibe you go make NDC go out of power next 4yrs. Bringing guns to my house was uncalled for!!!!”

Shatta Wale’s outburst comes just days after EOCO announced that the vehicle was lawfully seized as part of a collaborative operation with the FBI and the United States Justice Department. The car is believed to be tied to proceeds from financial crimes committed by one Nana Kwabena Amuah, and both Shatta Wale and a former National Signal Bureau officer have been identified as persons of interest in the ongoing probe.

Although EOCO clarified that the seizure was conducted professionally and without incident, Shatta Wale’s reaction has raised concerns about the agency’s tactics and the optics of armed operations involving public figures.

As of now, EOCO has not publicly responded to the allegations made by the musician. It remains unclear whether the agency will issue a formal statement or clarify its operational protocols regarding the use of firearms during asset recovery missions.
