Police personnel from the Ngleshie Amanfro District Police Command, through intelligence-led operations, rescued 16 young West African nationals believed to be victims of fraud.
The rescue took place on July 23, 2025, at a private residence in Peace Town, a suburb of Ngleshie Amanfro in the Ga South Municipality of the Greater Accra Region.
The victims, including several young women, were allegedly lured to Ghana by an individual who convinced them using the name of the direct selling company QNET, with promises of employment.
According to the District Crime Officer of Ngleshie Amanfro, ASP Justice Bright Amanfo, some of the victims had been in the country for over a year and were reportedly involved in fraudulent activities within the municipality.
ASP Amanfo revealed that after realising the promised jobs were non-existent, the victims are said to have allegedly joined criminal groups to defraud unsuspecting Ghanaians.
The police are currently screening the rescued individuals, after which they will be handed over to the appropriate authorities for further processing.
A manhunt has been launched for the individual who accommodated the victims in his house.
Initially, interrogations proved difficult, as the victims spoke only French. The police had to engage an interpreter to facilitate communication.
The successful rescue operation, which was conducted around 11 p.m. on the day of the raid, involved a coordinated team of officers from the district command.
Meanwhile, QNET has launched a Compliance Office in Ghana to help security agencies track, monitor and combat people and scammers misusing its name. Additionally, QNET is partnering with the Economic and Organised Crime Office to implement a roadshow to educate the public against scams perpetrated in the name of company.
