The Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) has rescued seven Nigerian nationals who were allegedly trafficked into Ghana and forced to engage in illegal cyber activities. The operation, conducted on November 14, 2025, was part of EOCO’s ongoing Operation LIFELINE.
During the raid, EOCO arrested 10 individuals, including three suspects and seven victims, all Nigerian nationals aged between 17 and 30 years. The victims were reportedly lured to Ghana with false promises of employment, only to be forced into harsh and exploitative conditions to carry out online fraud schemes.
EOCO has appealed to the public to report suspicious activities via its hotlines and other law enforcement channels, and urged landlords to verify the backgrounds of foreign tenants before renting out their properties.
“We will pursue and prosecute individuals involved in cybercrime,” EOCO warned, reaffirming its commitment to combatting organised crime and protecting victims.
To report information or suspicious activities, contact EOCO via email at mailto:eoco@eoco.gov.gh or through social media platforms on Twitter and Facebook at @EOCOghana.
