Ghanaian authorities have been cracking down on cybercrime, but I couldn’t find information confirming a specific raid on Adom City Estate in Tema Community 25, Accra, with 39 suspects arrested. However, here are some recent cybercrime-related news stories in Ghana:
– Recent Cybercrime Arrests: In August 2025, a joint operation by the Cyber Security Authority (CSA) and the Ghana Police Service led to the arrest of 65 individuals suspected of cybercrime and online fraud across the country.
– Nationwide Operations: The operations were conducted between May and July 2025, with suspects arrested in various locations, including Sogakope, Dodowa Sassabi Ubuntu Estate, Bortianor-Ngleshie Amanfro, and Teshie-Nungua.
– Seized Equipment: Authorities seized 62 laptops, 41 mobile phones, and Starlink internet devices, indicating the scale and sophistication of the cybercrime networks operating in Ghana.
– International Collaboration: The CSA and Ghana Police Service are working with international partners to combat cybercrime, including the FBI and Interpol, to apprehend suspects and bring them to justice.
Some notable cases include:
– $100m Fraud Scheme: In June 2025, three Ghanaian nationals were arrested in Accra for allegedly orchestrating a $100 million fraud scheme involving business email compromise and romance scams.
– Cybercrime Syndicate Busted: The suspects, Isaac Kofi Oduro Boateng, Inusah Ahmed, and Derrick Van Yeboah, face extradition to the United States, where they could face up to 40 years in prison if convicted.
