The Economic and Organised Crime Office EOCO has identified a dangerous new criminal group operating across West and Central Africa. EOCO executive secretary Raymond Archer stated this group, known as Model Q, is more advanced than previously seen.
Model Q is involved in several serious crimes. These include human trafficking, smuggling people across borders and widespread financial fraud.
This new network represents a worrying change in criminal activity in the region. Their sophisticated methods pose a significant challenge to law enforcement efforts.
EOCO is urging vigilance as the scope and impact of Model Q's operations become clearer.
