In a statement issued on Wednesday, August 5, 2026, the Ghana Police Service said the two men lured fellow Nigerians to Ghana with false promises of employment before forcing them to engage in cybercrime upon their arrival.
According to the police, the victims believed they were travelling for legitimate job opportunities but were instead exploited after reaching the country.
Investigators said the suspects confiscated the victims’ mobile phones and identification documents before compelling them to carry out internet fraud using laptops provided to them.
The police further disclosed that the victims endured harsh living conditions during their captivity.
According to the statement, they were fed only one meal a day and were allegedly subjected to severe physical abuse whenever they failed to comply with the suspects’ instructions.
The Ghana Police Service reaffirmed its commitment to tackling human trafficking and other organised crimes, urging members of the public to report any suspected cases to the nearest police station or other appropriate authorities.
