The Central East Regional Command of the Ghana Police Service has arrested three suspects for allegedly withdrawing more than GH¢20,000 from a customer’s bank account in Kasoa through fraudulent electronic transactions.
The suspects, Prince Boadu, 26; Emmanuel Adjei Opoku, 26; and Eric Owusu, 23, are believed to have carried out the offence in 2025.
Fraud detected
According to a police statement, the victim lodged a complaint on November 2, 2025, after detecting unauthorised deductions from his account.
He had earlier deposited GH¢20,180.00 on October 16 but later discovered on October 31, 2025, that GH¢20,144.06 had been withdrawn without his consent.
The victim’s bank subsequently confirmed the transaction as fraudulent, prompting an intelligence-led investigation by the police.
Arrests and exhibits
The suspects were arrested on March 17, 2026, by the Police Intelligence Directorate at their hideout in Tema.
Items retrieved from them include assorted mobile phones, SIM cards from MTN, AirtelTigo and Telecel, as well as laptops, routers and other computer-related equipment.
Next steps
The suspects are currently in police custody, assisting with investigations, and are expected to be arraigned before the court.
The police have reiterated their commitment to tackling fraud and ensuring that perpetrators are brought to justice.
