A joint operation has led to the arrest of twelve Nigerian nationals. The arrests were made by a team from the IGP’s Cyber Vetting and Enforcement Unit, the Criminal Investigations Department CID Headquarters Surveillance Unit, and the Ghana Immigration Service GIS.
These individuals are suspected of being involved in organised cyber fraud. They are also linked to human trafficking activities, according to authorities.
The operation took place across an undisclosed location within Ghana.
Specific details about the modus operandi of the suspects were not immediately released by the joint task force.
The Ghana Immigration Service confirmed the arrests. They stated that further investigations are ongoing to uncover the full extent of the criminal network.
This action by law enforcement highlights efforts to combat transnational crime within Ghana.
The suspects are currently in police custody. Legal proceedings are expected to commence once investigations are complete.
Authorities are continuing to monitor and act against criminal activities affecting national security and public safety.
