Fifty Nigerians suspected to be engaged in cyber
fraud and armed robberies at Kasoa and its environs have been apprehended by
personnel of the Police Intelligence Directorate.
Briefing the media, the Director-General
in-charge of the Police Intelligence Directorate, Commissioner of Police (COP)
Christian Tetteh Yohuno, said police personnel from the unit carried out the
operation in the said areas at Gomoa Budumburam around 9.00am.
He said about 20 suspects were rounded up in the
first apartment, which is a two-bedroom facility. “During the arrest, most of
the suspects were busy on their laptops while the others were sleeping.”
COP Yohuno said the exhibits would be forwarded
to the Cyber Crime Unit of the Police CID for further investigations.
“We are currently screening them for varying
criminal offences, including cyber related crimes and robberies after which
they would be handed over to the Ghana Immigration Service for residence status
investigations,” the Director-General of the Unit revealed.
COP Yohuno also hinted that 21 out of the 46
suspected Nigerians rounded up in a similar exercise two weeks ago at Amanfrom,
are to be repatriated by the Ghana Immigration Service for illegal immigration.
