The artiste was granted a GH¢10 million bail with two sureties after interrogation.
“Charles Nii Armah Mensah arrived at the office around 3pm and insisted that he was not going to cooperate until his counsel arrived; a right to which he is entitled and which was accorded him. EOCO investigators and Charles Nii Armah Mensah waited from 11am till 5pm before his counsel showed up. Incidentally, EOCO's closing time is 5pm. Nevertheless, EOCO staff and the entire operational team chose to carry on with the interrogation, which ended around 9pm. Officers eventually left the office around 11pm.
“Nii Armah was granted bail around 9pm, shortly after the interrogation ended. He was granted bail of GH¢10,000,000 with two sureties to be justified. Once the sureties are presented, EOCO will undertake surety inspection, which is a standard protocol, after which Charles Nii Armah Mensah would leave custody,” parts of the statement read.
EOCO indicated that Shatta Wale, who is said to have purchased the car, has so far not been able to provide all of the needed details of the transaction.

“So far, Charles Nii Armah Mensah has been unable to identify the person from whom he purchased the said Lamborghini Urus vehicle, except to say that he purchased it from the ‘street’ and from someone possibly called ‘ZAK,’ who may have contacted him on WhatsApp but whose identity he does not know and whose contact he has thrown away.
“So far, Charles Nii Armah Mensah does not also possess any documentation in terms of receipt or transfer documents showing that he owns or purchased the said vehicle, except a customs declaration document in his possession bearing the name of Nana Kwabena Amuah, who is currently in jail,” the statement said.
