The Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) has indicated that it will, in the coming days, invite Ghanaian dancehall artiste Charles Nii Armah Mensah, popularly known as Shatta Wale, as well as a former senior officer of the National Signals Bureau (NSB), for questioning.
According to EOCO, the upcoming invitations and subsequent investigations are connected to a case involving stolen luxury vehicles smuggled from the United States to Ghana. These criminal activities are alleged to have been orchestrated by a syndicate led by 31-year-old Nana Kwabena Amuah, who is currently serving a seven-year sentence in the US.
