Ghana, INTERPOL and FBI Arrest Nigerian Cyber-fraud Kingpin

A joint operation by the Ghana Police Service, Cyber Security Authority, INTERPOL and the US FBI has led to the arrest of a Nigerian national suspected of running an international POS scam with compromised US bank cards. Investigators traced unauthorised transactions at filling stations in Accra to the suspect, who allegedly colluded with pump attendants to process fake fuel purchases and pocket cash instead of fuel. During the arrest, officers recovered a pistol, live ammunition and electronic devices linked to the scheme. Further searches of his office and residence uncovered rounds of ammunition and mobile phones for forensic examination. Authorities say asset tracing has identified properties and vehicles believed to have been bought with illicit proceeds. The suspect is now facing charges, and investigations continue to dismantle the wider network.
