The Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) has arrested seven Nigeriens following their alleged involvement in activities of cybercrime in Ghana.
The suspects were picked up through an intelligence-led swoop conducted on a house at Manhean, Obeyeyie in the Greater Accra Region on September 26, 2022.
A statement issued by EOCO on Monday, October 3, 2022, said 21 individuals, believed to be victims of trafficking from Nigeria, were also rescued during the swoop.
“At the end of the exercise, 28 Nigerians suspected to be engaged in Prohibited Cyber Activities, were taken into custody.
“After our initial screening, 21 of the persons were determined to be victims of Human Trafficking from Nigeria to Ghana,” the official statement said.
The seven suspects have since been remanded into lawful custody whilst investigations are ongoing.
