Ghanaian authorities, in coordination with regional INTERPOL activity, said they dismantled a transnational cyber‑fraud ring operating across Ghana and Nigeria that cheated more than 200 victims of about $400,000. Multiple suspects were arrested and devices were seized as part of the operation.

As part of a coordinated law enforcement effort linked to INTERPOL’s regional initiatives, Ghanaian authorities announced the dismantling of a cyber‑fraud network operating across Ghana and Nigeria that defrauded over 200 victims of approximately $400,000. Investigators reported multiple arrests and seizures of electronic devices used to run the scheme, which relied on fake websites and mobile applications impersonating well‑known brands to collect payments for goods and services that were never delivered. The operation combined social engineering, phishing pages and fraudulent payment flows to harvest customer funds and personal data, which were then channelled through informal and formal banking conduits. Authorities emphasised the cross‑border investigation, noting cooperation with Nigerian counterparts and INTERPOL to map the network, identify financial beneficiaries and pursue asset recovery. Law enforcement also issued public warnings about counterfeit e‑commerce sites and urged consumers to verify vendor credentials, use secure payment methods and report suspicious transactions promptly.
