Overview

  • EOCO says the artist appeared for questioning in Accra as part of a U.S. request tied to suspected proceeds from a $4 million scheme involving Nana Kwabena Amuah.
  • Authorities released him on 10 million cedi bail pending verification of guarantors as investigators continue their inquiries.
  • Ghana seized the 2019 Lamborghini earlier this year after FBI and Justice Department requests, and a federal court in the Eastern District of Kentucky authorized U.S. possession in Ghana.
  • Investigators report he has not provided purchase documents and says he paid $150,000 to an unidentified seller possibly called “Zak” contacted via WhatsApp.
  • Hundreds of supporters gathered outside EOCO offices in Accra calling for his release during the questioning.
