The Cyber Security Authority (CSA), in collaboration with the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service, has arrested 39 individuals suspected of engaging in various forms of cybercrime.
The suspects were picked up at Adom City Estate, Tema Community 25, Greater Accra, in the early hours of Thursday, August 21, following intelligence-led surveillance.
Among those arrested were three minors and a woman suspected to be an escort linked to one of the alleged ringleaders.
According to law enforcement officials, the operation targeted a suspected cyber fraud hub believed to have been operating within the residential enclave.
The raid was carried out under heavy security, with several digital devices, laptops, and other materials seized for forensic investigation.
Authorities confirmed that all 39 individuals are currently in custody and will be transferred to the CID Headquarters in Accra for further questioning and profiling.
The CSA has stressed that the clampdown forms part of a broader national strategy to combat online fraud, financial scams, and related cyber-enabled crimes across the country.
While assuring the public that due process will be followed, particularly with regard to the minors, the CID urged citizens to remain vigilant against fraudulent online activities.
This latest operation adds to a growing list of cybercrime-related raids as Ghana intensifies its fight against internet-based criminal activities.
