Ghana · Counterfeit-Currency InvestigationKlagon and Lashibi, Greater AccraFive arrests reported · One person reportedly sought

Supplied composite image. Crime Watch Global has not independently authenticated the pictured person, currency, location, or the composite’s labels.

National Security operation reportedly uncovered printing and storage facilities

Ghanaian pastor reportedly sought after alleged counterfeit-currency operation uncovered at Klagon church

Ghana’s National Security Council Secretariat reportedly said counterfeit-currency syndicates used churches and religious offices to conceal printing operations across Greater Accra. A 29 June raid at Lashibi reportedly led to five arrests and the seizure of printing equipment, with follow-up intelligence directing security teams to a religious facility in Klagon.

Searches reportedly found that administrative offices and residential quarters were being used as a production and storage site. Authorities were reported to have recovered purported counterfeit coupons with stated face values exceeding US$5.2 million, CFA 623 million and GH¢7.1 million, together with a printing machine and two operational vehicles.

Rev. Emmanuel Boakye-Danquah, identified in the supplied report as linked to the church, is reportedly being sought while efforts continue to locate suspects said to remain at large. Crime Watch Global asks anyone with credible information about his whereabouts to send a tip that can be referred to Ghana Police or the appropriate security authority. Members of the public should not approach or attempt to detain any person.

Crime Watch Global thanks the public for information submitted through its tip channels. The material available for this report does not independently establish that a Crime Watch Global tip caused the raids, arrests or seizures. The reported links and counterfeiting claims remain allegations; every suspect is entitled to due process and the presumption of innocence.

Forensic examination reportedly confirms cocaine

Ghana Police Confirm 192 Wraps Seized From Two Suspects in Wa Tested Positive for Cocaine

Upper West Regional Police Commander DCOP Francis Yiribaare says forensic examination conducted with the Narcotics Control Commission confirmed that 192 wraps retrieved from two people arrested in Wa contained cocaine. Both suspects have been remanded in custody.

Police identified the first suspect only as “SK” and said officers arrested him at the ESP Bus Terminal on 6 September 2026 with the suspected substance. DCOP Yiribaare described the seizure as the first cocaine bust of its kind in the Upper West Region and said investigators are examining whether it indicates a new trafficking pattern.

The commander said police are intensifying “foot intelligence” to identify other people allegedly connected to the trade. He also warned commercial vehicle owners that vehicles used to carry illegal drugs could become subject to forfeiture proceedings.

The suspects are on remand, and the allegations are not convictions. Both are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in court. The supplied next-court-date year was omitted because it predates the reported arrest and could not be reconciled.

Why Ghana’s Cocaine Case Demands Independent Scrutiny

A Crime Watch Global editorial calling for an independent, evidence-led investigation into whether any serving or retired public official facilitated the Ghana-linked cocaine shipment intercepted in France.

Important: The reader submission supplied no reviewable evidence establishing that a retired Ghanaian police officer was involved. This opinion does not identify or accuse any retired officer and must not be read as a factual report of such involvement.

Authorities should follow verified evidence wherever it leads, strengthen independent oversight, publish transparent findings, and apply accountability consistently regardless of rank, past office, wealth, or political connection.

Ghana cocaine case: four charged; further arrests have not been confirmed

Four suspects have been charged and remanded in Ghana in connection with the nearly 3.9-tonne cocaine shipment seized in Dunkirk, France. NACOC says the suspects had been under surveillance for up to two years. They are presumed innocent unless convicted.

Claims that arrests are imminent in four other countries, that a former senior police officer is involved, or that unnamed East Legon residents will be arrested have not been independently verified. No further arrest is presented here as fact.

Passenger arrived on a flight from Accra, Ghana

Police arrest 52-year-old man at OR Tambo Airport and seize suspected heroin worth an estimated R2 million

South African Police, working with the Border Management Authority, reportedly arrested a 52-year-old South African national after he arrived at OR Tambo International Airport on a flight from Accra. Police said an intelligence-led search of his luggage uncovered bullet-shaped objects and blocks containing substances suspected to be heroin.

According to the police statement supplied to Crime Watch Global, the arrest on Sunday, 20 September 2026, was the third suspected drug-mule arrest at the port of entry within three weeks. The seized substances were valued at approximately R2 million. The man is expected to appear in the Kempton Park Magistrates’ Court on drug-trafficking-related charges.

“The South African Police Service continues to intensify its efforts to dismantle and dislodge drug trafficking syndicates through ongoing intelligence-led and targeted operations.”

Crime Watch Global warning

Crime Watch Global warns people using Ghana as a route for international drug trafficking that their activities will be exposed and reported. The organisation says it has received six additional tips concerning possible drug shipments moving through Ghana to Europe.

Crime Watch Global says an insider within Ghana’s border-security community provided information about this alleged shipment from Ghana to South Africa and that the information was conveyed to relevant authorities. Crime Watch Global thanks the source but cannot independently establish that its tip led to this interception. The additional reported tips remain unverified and should not be interpreted as proof that any shipment or named person is involved in criminal activity.

Nine Israelis arrested as Turkey investigates alleged international investment-fraud network

Turkish authorities say coordinated raids at 286 locations in Istanbul and Muğla targeted an alleged investment-fraud network involving 239 suspects. Justice Minister Akın Gürlek said the investigation covered 42 call centres operated by 28 companies. Nine Israeli citizens were reportedly among those arrested.

Investigators allege that online advertisements promoted fraudulent forex and cryptocurrency investments, after which controlled platforms displayed fictitious profits to encourage further deposits. Victims attempting withdrawals were allegedly told to pay additional “tax” or “account freeze” fees before funds were moved to overseas accounts and cryptocurrency wallets.

Turkish officials described the broader organisation as the “Scam Empire” and said complaints came from victims across Europe, Asia and Africa. Reports estimate alleged losses at approximately $3 billion. These claims remain allegations; the detained people are entitled to due process and the presumption of innocence.

West Midlands Police says victims in their eighties received telephone calls from people claiming to be police officers and were instructed to place large amounts of cash in envelopes for an “officer” to collect. Two residents reportedly handed over a combined £10,000.

Five men, all aged 19, were arrested after officers stopped a vehicle in London on Thursday. Police said they were detained on suspicion of conspiracy to commit fraud and remained in custody. Arrests and suspicions are not convictions.

Houston-area immigration attorney arrested in alleged client fraud scheme

Federal prosecutors charged Alla Nowowiejski, 44, with mail fraud and making false statements in connection with her work as an immigration attorney. The indictment alleges that she accepted payments to establish or adjust clients’ work status and apply for work visas but either failed to submit applications or submitted only incomplete filings.

Prosecutors further allege that clients received false documents or reference numbers belonging to unrelated active immigration matters, creating the impression that authorities were processing their applications. If convicted, Nowowiejski faces up to 20 years in federal prison and a possible $250,000 fine.

The DHS Office of Inspector General and U.S. Postal Service OIG investigated with assistance from USCIS and the Harris County Constable’s Office, Precinct 1. An indictment is an accusation, not evidence of guilt. The defendant is presumed innocent unless proven guilty through due process.

According to the supplied NDLEA report, 38-year-old Will Jessica Ann was arrested at Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja on 6 July 2026 after officers found 14 blocks of heroin weighing 5.75 kilograms in two checked bags. She had arrived on a Qatar Airways flight from Doha and said she had travelled from Cambodia.

She pleaded guilty in case FHC/ABJ/CR/422/2026 to importing heroin and conspiracy to import heroin. Justice Obiora Atuegwu Egwuatu sentenced her to 15 years on the first count and 25 years on the second. The terms run concurrently, meaning the effective prison term is 25 years rather than 40 years served consecutively.

NDLEA also reported that her husband or partner, Jan Coenraad De Jager, was arrested in Johannesburg on 27 July 2026 while allegedly attempting to traffic 3.2 kilograms of an illicit drug to Hong Kong.

NDLEA says it dismantled suspected meth lab in Ebonyi and arrested alleged Mexican organizer

NDLEA said the operation followed months of investigation into suspected transnational networks attempting to establish clandestine methamphetamine laboratories in Nigerian forests and rural communities. The agency identified Mexican national Arturo Carrera Loaiza as an alleged organizer and said officers arrested him at Lagos airport on 19 August 2026 while he was attempting to leave Nigeria.

Investigators said location metadata from recovered photographs led them to a property at Isiata Ugoni Okposi in Ebonyi State. NDLEA reported that CCTV footage, witness accounts, chemical odours, and movements of equipment linked the property to suspected production activity. Loaiza denied knowledge of methamphetamine production, according to the report.

NDLEA listed a dehydrator containing material that field-tested as methamphetamine, additional dehydrators, large quantities of acetone, toluene, hydrochloric acid and other chemicals, condensing equipment, mixers, burners, drums, weighing scales, and a fabricated reaction pot among the items recovered.

San Francisco 49ers principal owner and Leeds United co-owner Jed York was arrested in East Palestine, Ohio, after police said he responded to an undercover advertisement and arranged to pay $140 for sex. Authorities initially booked him on suspicion of engaging in prostitution and possessing criminal tools.

Court reporting says the prostitution allegation was amended to disorderly conduct. York pleaded no contest to disorderly conduct and possessing criminal tools, both misdemeanors. He received a two-day jail sentence with credit for one day already served, leaving one additional day, and was ordered to pay fines.

The conviction was for the amended misdemeanor charges. Reporting should not describe York as convicted of prostitution.

Orlando Vilchez Lazo, 44, was sentenced in San Francisco to 150 years in prison for 12 felony counts involving kidnapping and sexual assault. His convictions include kidnapping with intent to commit rape, kidnapping, rape by force or fear, and sexual penetration with a foreign object.

Prosecutors said Lazo posed as a rideshare driver to approach women leaving bars and nightclubs, then drove them to secluded locations and assaulted them. The known crimes spanned 2013 to 2018. Investigators connected him to the earlier attack after obtaining a DNA sample following assaults reported in 2018.

The supplied report says Lazo had worked as a Lyft driver before his July 2018 arrest. Lyft said he had fraudulently represented himself to drive for the platform and deactivated his account after the arrest.

San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins praised the survivors, saying the sentence reflected the gravity of the crimes and held Lazo accountable for the harm he caused.

Father and woman arrested after two-year-old girl dies from kratom intoxication, police say

West Melbourne Police said Jerome Jordan, 35, and Charlene O’Connell, 32, were arrested after two-year-old Jonnie Jordan died from acute mitragynine intoxication. Mitragynine is a substance found in kratom, an over-the-counter product associated with stimulant, analgesic, and opioid-like effects.

Investigators allege Jonnie swallowed up to two and a half kratom pills at O’Connell’s Palm Bay home on 17 May. Police said the adults knew she had swallowed the pills, saw her lips turn blue and watched her suffer a seizure and abnormal breathing, but did not call 911 or seek immediate medical attention.

Police allege Jordan later took the child to his sister’s apartment and put her to bed. Jordan and his sister brought Jonnie unresponsive to a hospital shortly after 6 a.m. on 18 May, where she was pronounced dead. Jordan and O’Connell are charged with aggravated manslaughter of a child and child neglect with great bodily harm.

These are allegations, not convictions. Jerome Jordan and Charlene O’Connell are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in court.

A supplied report says Ali Namdar, a Swedish fugitive publicly listed by EU Most Wanted and linked by authorities to the Foxtrot network, was apprehended in Tangier by Morocco's Interpol national unit and security service. He was reportedly using false identity details.

Arrest and investigation

Namdar is reportedly under investigation in Morocco for forgery and use of forged documents. Swedish authorities have been informed, and any transfer or extradition process will depend on the relevant legal procedures.

The supplied account says five Swedish district courts have remanded him in custody in absentia in cases covering 18 suspected crimes. These include alleged attempted murder and violent incidents in Borås, Uddevalla and Katrineholm, as well as Norway.

Confirmed public background

• EU Most Wanted: Namdar is listed as wanted by Sweden for murder and grievous bodily injury.
• Date of birth: The official listing records 11 December 2004.
• Operational context: Europol described the newly listed Swedish target as connected to organised violence, including murders, attempted murders, public shootings and explosions.

Official EU Most Wanted record

Verification and legal status: The official EU Most Wanted record confirms Namdar's identity and Swedish wanted status. At publication, Crime Watch Global had not located a public Swedish, Moroccan, Interpol or Europol notice independently confirming the newly reported arrest in Morocco; that arrest and the detailed allegations above therefore remain attributed to the supplied report. A wanted notice, remand order or arrest is not a conviction. Namdar is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in court. The attached identity image was supplied to Crime Watch Global.

NAMES OF FOUR GHANAIANS CHARGED OVER €225 MILLION COCAINE SHIPMENT FROM GHANA TO FRANCE

The four accused appeared before the High Court in Accra on 16 September and were remanded for four weeks. The charges remain allegations, not convictions.

Reuters reported on 10 September that French customs seized nearly 3.9 metric tonnes of cocaine valued at €225 million, approximately US$261.45 million, at the port of Dunkirk.

The French organised-crime prosecutor’s office said the cocaine was hidden in plastic waste arriving from Ghana. The drugs were destroyed and an investigation was opened.

The accused are Desmond Koranteng Curiel, also known as “Paul Kweku Yeboah” or “Biggs”; Musah Attah, also known as “Kromo”; Kweku Otchere; and Jessica Hartog.

Crime Watch Global thanks readers who submitted information and says it passed information to INTERPOL before the seizure. No official source reviewed establishes that a reader tip directly caused the interception.

Graphic Online reported that NACOC arrested three unnamed suspects who were assisting investigators. The supplied source does not identify Musah Attah as a presidential bodyguard or confirm claims about additional unnamed people, so those assertions are not presented here as established facts.

The earlier Crime Watch Global report involving Afolabi Kazeem Michael and two unnamed prominent Ghanaians concerns a separate Nigerian investigation. No authoritative source reviewed links that case to Dunkirk.

The report says Joy arrived in India from Nigeria on 14 August on a seven-month business visa and was living in Bandra East, Mumbai, where she worked at a hair salon with her sister. Police reportedly checked her passport, visa, and immigration records.

The supplied account says a case was registered under Sections 8 and 21 of India’s Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act. It further reports that Joy was brought before a court and remanded in prison custody.

U.S. SENTENCES NIGERIAN NATIONAL TO 95 MONTHS FOR LAUNDERING $3.1M IN SCAM PROCEEDS

A supplied Department of Justice release says Oluwasegun Baiyewu, 40, led a conspiracy that used the proceeds of fraud schemes to purchase and ship vehicles to Nigeria.

The U.S. Department of Justice release says Baiyewu was sentenced to 95 months in prison for a money-laundering conspiracy involving more than $3.1 million in proceeds from business-email-compromise, romance, and unemployment-insurance fraud schemes targeting U.S. citizens.

According to the release, the conspiracy operated from approximately May 2020 through October 2021 and involved at least six other co-conspirators in the United States and Nigeria. Baiyewu and the others allegedly coordinated through encrypted messaging applications to buy salvaged cars with illicit funds and ship them to Nigeria.

The DOJ described one transaction in which a Puerto Rican renewable-energy company was tricked into wiring approximately $280,000 to accounts controlled by fraudsters and money launderers. A federal jury convicted Baiyewu in August 2025 of one count of conspiracy to commit money laundering.

The case was investigated by the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, the Department of Labor Office of Inspector General, and the FBI San Juan Cyber Task Force, with assistance from the National Unemployment Insurance Fraud Task Force.

DEVELOPING: TWO PROMINENT GHANAIANS REPORTEDLY NAMED IN NIGERIAN COCAINE INVESTIGATION INVOLVING AFOLABI KAZEEM MICHAEL AKA KC LUXURY

A supplied account says Nigerian authorities are investigating two prominent Ghanaian nationals and two additional Nigerians in connection with the reported cocaine transit operation involving the detained influencer.

SUPPLIED IMAGE: NDLEA display naming Afolabi Kazeem Michael.

SUPPLIED IMAGE: Portrait associated with KC Luxury.

The NDLEA reportedly said 184.5 kilograms of cocaine was concealed in brown boxes at a Lagos courier facility on Monday 3 August. The agency said the shipment was being exported by an international network using Nigeria as a transit hub to the United Kingdom, Europe, and Asia.

Afolabi Kazeem Michael, 49, known as KC Luxury to about 700,000 Instagram followers, was reportedly detained 10 days later at Murtala Mohammed International Airport while preparing to board a business-class flight to Paris. NDLEA chief General Buba Marwa reportedly said operatives acted on intelligence that he intended to flee.

Officials allege that Mr. Michael was the Nigerian “arrowhead” of a cartel moving cocaine from South America through Nigeria. The report also names Lawal Mujab Kehinde as a second detained suspect, alleged to have worked for a logistics company used to transport the cocaine.

The wider investigation reportedly names two prominent Ghanaian nationals and two more Nigerians. Their full names are not supplied in the account, so they are not identified here while the investigation continues. Nigerian authorities are reportedly in contact with their Ghanaian counterparts concerning possible lawful action.

The supplied account says Mr. Michael has not commented on the allegations and has not been charged in court. The seizure, detention, cash and jewellery described by the NDLEA, and the wider suspect claims remain subject to investigation. Every named person is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.

ALGERIAN POLICE REPORT LARGEST-EVER DRUG BUST AFTER SEIZING 10.4 MILLION PREGABALIN CAPSULES AND 33.4 KG OF COCAINE

Algerian police reportedly dismantled a transnational drug-trafficking network in what authorities describe as the country's largest-ever drug bust. After a seven-month investigation, police reportedly seized 10.4 million pregabalin capsules of the psychotropic substance pregabalin and 33.4 kilograms of cocaine.

Authorities reportedly say the network was directed by traffickers based in Morocco, with cells operating across Algeria and members working from Dubai and France. The supplied account says around 50 people are believed to have been part of the wider organisation.

The supplied account says 25 suspects have been arrested and placed in pretrial detention. Investigators reportedly say members based abroad were involved in managing the network and its alleged criminal proceeds. An arrest or pretrial detention is not a conviction.

Police also reportedly seized 19 vehicles, including a semi-trailer tanker and three motorcycles, along with significant cash proceeds. The operation comes weeks after Spanish authorities dismantled a separate smuggling network operating between Spain and Algeria.

The New Orleans Police Department reports that Frederick Johnson (identified in the supplied account as a Black male, DOB: 06-22-1984) was arrested in connection with the homicide of Alphonse Hogan Jr. (identified as a Black male, DOB: 09-13-1957).

On August 3, NOPD First District officers took a missing-adult report after Hogan was last seen at his residence in the 2000 block of Lapeyrouse Street. During the investigation, detectives obtained information suggesting the disappearance possibly involved foul play. NOPD Homicide Section detectives then assumed control with assistance from the FBI.

Following multiple search warrants and analysis of evidence, detectives determined that Hogan was the victim of a homicide and reclassified the incident in consultation with the Orleans Parish Coroner's Office and the Orleans Parish District Attorney's Office. The supplied account says detectives developed Johnson as a suspect and obtained an arrest warrant charging him with one count of second-degree murder.

Johnson was reportedly located in Gonzales, Louisiana, and arrested with assistance from Louisiana State Police, the FBI, and the Ascension Parish Sheriff's Office. He is awaiting extradition to Orleans Parish to face the murder charge. Hogan's remains have not yet been located, and the investigation remains ongoing.

MAN ARRESTED IN WEST VIRGINIA AFTER FLORIDA WOMAN FOUND SHOT DEAD ON ROAD: 'HE CAME HERE TO KILL'

Matthew Waggle, 33, was reportedly arrested inside a Super 8 motel room in Dunbar, West Virginia, and is facing a first-degree murder charge. The supplied report says he will be extradited to Florida.

The victim was identified as Dawn Kriskewic, a Vero Beach hairdresser who investigators said had previously been in a relationship with Waggle. Deputies reportedly found her body around 9 a.m. on August 16 near the 500 block of 1st Street, just south of Vero Beach. She had been shot, and investigators said a firearm found near the scene was later confirmed as the weapon used in the homicide.

Investigators said Waggle had traveled to the area before the killing. The supplied account says he traveled by Greyhound bus from Arizona toward Orlando, took an Uber to Kriskewic's neighborhood, and was captured walking through the area by security and Ring-camera footage. Investigators reportedly said he spoke briefly with Kriskewic at her home before the shooting, remained in the area for about 15 minutes, and then left.

The report says Waggle traveled through Orlando, North Carolina, and eventually West Virginia. Investigators credited Flock license-plate-reader technology with helping locate him. It also says Kriskewic had told coworkers she did not want contact with Waggle, and quotes the Indian River County Sheriff's Office as saying: “Things weren't over, and he came here to kill.”

The supplied report says Waggle's ex-wife was taken into custody at the motel and led investigators to him; she has not been charged in connection with Kriskewic's killing. Detectives are continuing to investigate her possible involvement and the broader circumstances.

Hamburg · 19 February · Reported fatal stabbing

HAMBURG REPORT: 41-YEAR-OLD GHANAIAN WOMAN IDENTIFIED AS JOAN REPORTEDLY FACES JAIL AFTER FATAL STABBING

A supplied account alleges that Joan, a 41-year-old Ghanaian woman in Hamburg, fatally stabbed Ebenezer, described in the account as her 35-year-old child's father, on 19 February.

Sources described as being within the German police reportedly claim that Joan may face imprisonment. No official German police statement, charging document, court judgment, or sentence has been supplied to Crime Watch Global, so the alleged future jail outcome must not be treated as confirmed.

Investigators are alleged to have found that the killing was planned after earlier attempts reportedly failed. The supplied account claims that Joan previously tried to mix a dangerous substance into Ebenezer's drink, but that attempt did not kill him.

The account further alleges that, on the fatal day, Joan invited Ebenezer to meet her and had an intimate encounter with him before giving him a drink that allegedly contained the substance. When he did not die, the report claims she used a kitchen knife to stab him.

A person described to Crime Watch Global as an FBI insider claims that Ghanaian national Frederick Kumi, popularly known as Abu Trica, is preparing to ask U.S. prosecutors for a plea deal after the reported change to his U.S. legal team.

The same source claims that Kumi may seek to cooperate with investigators and provide information about people in Ghana he allegedly worked with, including the possible identification of two additional alleged fraud associates.

38-YEAR-OLD NIGERIAN NATIONAL ARRESTED AT ADELAIDE AIRPORT OVER ALLEGED $5M NDIS FRAUD

Thanks to your tips and the travel-ticket information supplied to Crime Watch Global, Australian authorities have arrested Foluso Omole, a 38-year-old Nigerian national, who is reportedly being held in custody over an alleged $5 million fraud targeting Australia's National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS).

Omole was arrested at Adelaide Airport while attempting to leave Australia for Nigeria. The supplied court report, attributed to ABC, says he had purchased a one-way ticket to Nigeria before his arrest. No flight number was included in the supplied information.

Prosecutors allege that Omole improperly obtained information from an employee of the National Disability Insurance Agency over a six-year period and used it to fraudulently obtain NDIS benefits.

His lawyer, Mark Twiggs, denied the charges and told the court that Omole had no criminal record and had “good reason” to be granted bail. Magistrate Patrick Hill rejected the application, citing concerns that Omole posed a flight risk.

Omole is expected to return to court in September. Crime Watch Global thanks every reader who shares responsible information that can help authorities identify and assess potential flight risks.

The arrest, custody status, bail refusal, and court timetable are reported from the supplied account. The NDIS fraud allegations remain allegations, Omole is entitled to the presumption of innocence, and the charges must be tested through the Australian legal process.

CHRISTIAN GYAMFI ARRESTED IN SUSPECTED GH₵1.1 MILLION FAKE-GOLD SCAM

Ghana Police have reported the arrest of 36-year-old Christian Gyamfi in connection with a suspected fake-gold scam involving GH₵1.1 million in the Berekum area of the Bono Region.

According to a statement signed by Bono Regional Police Public Relations Officer Chief Inspector Thomas Akeelah and issued on August 21, 2026, Gyamfi was arrested on Thursday at a hideout in Wamfie, Dormaa East District, after an intelligence-led investigation.

Police said the case was reported by 29-year-old gold aggregator Christopher Awuni, who told investigators that four men posing as gold sellers sold him 110 troy ounces of gold for GH₵1.1 million in July.

The statement says Gyamfi allegedly admitted involvement during interrogation and told investigators the deal was concluded at Drobo in the Jaman South Municipality. Police say he identified three alleged accomplices: Abraham, alias “French Man,” Isaac Antwi, and Balthazar. The three are currently at large, according to the report.

Preliminary investigations have further revealed a separate transaction in which the group allegedly defrauded another victim of GH₵1.4 million at Drobo earlier this year. Gyamfi remains in police custody and is assisting investigations while efforts continue to locate the other suspects.

Police have cautioned the public to verify gold transactions thoroughly before committing funds and to report suspicious activity to the nearest police station.

The arrest, statement, transaction amounts, alleged admission, and accomplice identities are reported from the supplied Ghana Police account. The allegations remain unproven; Gyamfi and the other named suspects are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in court.

4 ARRESTED AFTER CHARLOTTE RAID NETS 28 POUNDS OF COCAINE, 11 GUNS

A joint operation involving the FBI and Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department resulted in four arrests and the seizure of 28 pounds of cocaine, 11 firearms, and $130,000 in cash, according to the supplied report.

Records show Jose Fernandez, 29, Marlon Fernandez-Calix, 36, Derek Reid, 44, and Andre Chisholm, 40 were charged with cocaine trafficking. Reid and Chisholm face additional drug charges, including alleged trafficking of fentanyl.

The FBI and CMPD launched the investigation on Friday, August 7, into what investigators described as a “kilo-level” cocaine distributor operating on Charlotte's east side. After weeks of surveillance at homes on Old Mount Holly Huntersville Road and Rocky River Church Road, and several related traffic stops, officers said they confirmed drug transactions were taking place inside the residences.

At about 7:50 p.m. on Tuesday, August 18, officers stopped a vehicle associated with the suspects on Rocky River Church Road after a K-9 alerted to drugs. A probable-cause search reportedly found more than two pounds of cocaine and more than $69,000 in cash, leading to the arrests of Fernandez and Fernandez-Calix.

Search warrants executed at both homes on Wednesday, August 19, uncovered an additional 26 pounds of cocaine and led to the arrests of Reid and Chisholm. Officers also seized 11 guns, 18 grams of fentanyl, and $130,000 in cash.

The arrests, charges, locations, dates, quantities, and seizures are reported from the supplied account and attributed to FBI/CMPD reporting and records. The charges are allegations; all defendants are presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.

WESTBURY MAN 'AT THE VERY TOP' OF PENN STATE COCAINE TRAFFICKING RING: PROSECUTORS

A 24-year-old Penn State graduate from Westbury, Agostino Abbatiello, is among 14 people indicted in an alleged cocaine-distribution operation tied to two fraternities at the university, according to prosecutors.

Prosecutors identified Abbatiello in a criminal complaint as the largest distributor in the alleged ring. The attorney general said he was "at the very top of the chain." Abbatiello was a member of Sigma Chi.

Prosecutors allege that Sigma Chi and Delta Upsilon hosted parties involving drugs and hazed pledges with cocaine. The attorney general said cutting and bagging cocaine was, for some pledges, an alleged form of indoctrination into the fraternities.

The investigation concerns alleged activity during 2023 and 2024. The 14 indictments were announced Monday and include Paul Robinson, described in the supplied report as a student's parent and attorney, whom prosecutors allege took steps to conceal evidence, including a safe containing drugs and cash. Also arrested was Robert Zanolla, 24, of Manhasset; prosecutors allege he helped move cocaine from New York City.

Penn State said it was "horrified by these serious allegations" and that criminal activity, including hazing, has no place at the institution. Prosecutors said the investigation remains ongoing.

The indictments, arrests, identities, statements, and alleged conduct are reported from the supplied account and attributed to prosecutors or the university. The allegations are not convictions; all defendants are presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.

18 August 2026 · Northern District of Ohio · Counsel Change Reported

ABU TRIKA CHANGES LAWYERS — NEW U.S. LEGAL TEAM SECURED AHEAD OF OHIO PRETRIAL CONFERENCE

Our sources in the United States have hinted to Crime Watch Global that Ghanaian national Frederick Kumi, popularly known as Abu Trica, has secured a new U.S. legal team ahead of a key pretrial conference in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio.

Kumi is now reportedly represented by Eric F. Long and Lucas D. Trott of the Cleveland-based firm Friedman, Nemecek & Long, L.L.C. The proceeding has been declared “complex” by Judge John R. Adams because of the large volume of digital and financial discovery.

The initial 8 September 2026 jury trial has reportedly been delayed. A new scheduling conference is set for 25 August 2026. Kumi remains detained in U.S. custody, maintains a not-guilty plea, and is reviewing the evidence with his new counsel.

Federal prosecutors accuse Kumi of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and money-laundering conspiracy in an alleged international romance-scam network. Prosecutors allege that, since April 2023, the network used artificial-intelligence software to create fake dating-app and social-media profiles, build trust with more than 80 elderly American victims, and solicit money for supposed medical care, travel costs, or investments.

The indictment further alleges that U.S.-based intermediaries, primarily in Ohio, helped move funds back to associates in Ghana. The U.S. government claims total losses exceed $8 million, while Kumi disputes that figure and says he received only $13,000. If convicted, he faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in federal prison.

This 18 August 2026 update is based on information supplied by sources in the United States and the reported federal case status. The charges are allegations, Kumi has pleaded not guilty, and he is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.

Crime Watch Global would like to thank our readers for this tip. We work in more than 58 countries around the globe, and information from the public helps us alert the relevant law-enforcement agencies.

South African police reportedly arrested five individuals after raiding a suspected crystal-methamphetamine laboratory at a farm near Musina in Limpopo province, close to the Zimbabwe border. The reported arrests involve two Mexican nationals, two Zimbabwean nationals, and one Malawian national.

According to the supplied report, the overnight operation followed a two-month investigation into suspicious activity. Police reportedly seized drugs and laboratory equipment valued at approximately 600 million rand — about $37 million — together with an undisclosed amount of cash.

The five suspects are expected to appear in court on charges relating to the manufacture and possession of illicit drugs. Police described the alleged operation as a sophisticated, industrial-scale facility believed to have been established to produce dangerous illicit substances for distribution.

This update is based on the supplied report and attributed police statements. The allegations remain subject to the legal process, and all accused persons are presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.

Crime Watch Global would like to thank all of you for your tips. We are a leading global investigative and crime-stoppers organization. All your information is safely delivered to the appropriate law-enforcement agencies, and action is taken immediately.

Your tips have now led to the arrest of James Arthur Graves Graham Jr., 24, and Alnesha Bianca Handy, 35, in connection with a reported scam targeting a Treasure Island resident's jewelry, precious metals, and funds. Police said the case began after officers responded to a report of burglary, grand theft, and a scheme to defraud.

According to investigators, callers impersonating Chase Bank and Bank of America employees used fear and urgency to persuade the victim to wire money and move valuables to a supposedly safe location. The alleged burglar then entered the victim's garage, emptied the safe, and left.

Investigators traced the alleged network across several states. Police reported that more than 83% of the $280,000 wire transfer was recovered and returned to the victim, while additional money and property remain under investigation. Police said more arrests could follow.

The allegations described here are based on the supplied police report. All defendants are presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.

EX-FBI AGENT PATRICK YAROCH ACCUSED OF STEALING $1M IN CRYPTO COULD FACE MORE CHARGES — FIRED AFTER TELLING FBI "I SCREWED UP" · COUNTERINTELLIGENCE AGENT CHARGED WITH INTERSTATE TRANSPORTATION & RECEIPT OF STOLEN GOODS

A former FBI agent who admitted stealing almost $1 million in cryptocurrency was released to the custody of his parents Wednesday before a judge changed course. Patrick Yaroch was fired last week after telling the FBI he "screwed up."

A magistrate judge gave him credit for self-reporting his behaviour, saying the allegation is serious but that Yaroch did the right thing by telling the FBI — noting the bureau might otherwise never have found out. In an update Thursday, a judge stayed the order for release and scheduled another hearing, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Virginia confirmed.

The former counterintelligence agent is charged with interstate transportation of stolen goods and receipt of stolen goods — namely a cryptocurrency account the complaint says was tied to an adversarial nation. Two sources familiar with the matter told Crime Watch Global.

"In approximately November 2024, during his investigative work, YAROCH was exposed to adversarial cryptocurrency accounts. At this point, YAROCH described himself as 'spinning out of control.' YAROCH claimed he was frustrated that the FBI could not or would not act against adversarial cryptocurrency accounts."— Federal Complaint

In court Wednesday, prosecutors said Yaroch could be facing additional charges but did not specify what those charges could be. Crime Watch Global will continue to monitor this case.

Crime Watch Global's insider in the United States legal system has revealed that Asante Kwaku Berko, 52, a U.S.-Ghanaian citizen, will be jailed for his fraudulent activities. Berko faces charges of Conspiracy to Violate the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), Violating the FCPA, and Money Laundering Conspiracy — carrying a potential penalty of up to 30 years in prison. Sentencing is scheduled for November 10, 2026.

The Bribery Scheme

The Project: Development and financing of a multi-million-dollar power plant in Ghana for Turkish energy client Aksa Enerji, around 2014–2016. Berko was a former Goldman Sachs executive who leveraged his position to facilitate illegal payments.

The Method: Berko and co-conspirators used shell companies, fake invoices, nominee accounts, and cash to route more than $1 million to senior Ghanaian government officials as bribes to secure the power plant project.

The Cover-up: Communications regarding the illegal payments were hidden using private email accounts specifically to bypass internal Goldman Sachs compliance tracking, concealing the corrupt scheme from the bank's internal controls.

Bjorn Daniel Sundin (alias: David Sundin), a Swedish national born August 7, 1978, is wanted by the FBI for his alleged involvement in an international cybercrime scheme that caused internet users in more than 60 countries to purchase more than one million bogus software products, resulting in consumer losses of more than $100 million.

From December 2006 to October 2008, Sundin and his accomplices — through fake advertisements placed on legitimate companies' websites — deceived internet users into believing their computers were infected with "malware" or had critical errors, pushing them to purchase "scareware" software products that had limited or no ability to remedy the purported defects. The scheme used browser hijacking, fraudulent scans, and false error messages to coerce victims into purchasing full paid versions of software from their company, Innovative Marketing, Inc.

Proceeds from credit card sales were deposited into bank accounts controlled by Sundin and others worldwide, then transferred to bank accounts in Europe. When customers complained, call center representatives were instructed to lie or issue refunds to prevent fraud reports to law enforcement.

On May 26, 2010, Sundin was indicted by a federal grand jury in Chicago, Illinois for wire fraud, conspiracy to commit computer fraud, and computer fraud. A federal warrant was issued the same day. Sundin has ties to Sweden and Ukraine and remains at large.

Liberian authorities have seized approximately $317 million worth of cocaine that was bound for Europe — one of West Africa's largest ever recorded drug busts. Officers found 3,971 kg of cocaine in the town of Duazon, east of the capital Monrovia. Inspector General of the Liberian National Police, Gregory Coleman, confirmed the seizure to Reuters.

Two suspects were arrested: one holding dual passports from Spain and Colombia, the other carrying a Serbian passport. Video and pictures released by the police showed a house filled with cardboard boxes and suitcases wrapped in cling film, marked "Coco" and "Poseidon".

The bust follows a previous seizure last month of 237.6 kg of cocaine worth over $19 million at Roberts International Airport outside Monrovia — linked to Dutch cocaine kingpin Jos Leijdekkers, one of Europe's most wanted fugitives. Experts note that drug traffickers are using West African nations as transit points for cocaine from South America destined for Europe, with some of the world's most sophisticated cocaine networks now operating and storing large volumes in the region.

MAN ARRESTED IN MULTI-MILLION-RAND MOTOR VEHICLE LICENSING FRAUD CASE — SYNDICATE USED NATIS SYSTEM FROM PRIVATE RESIDENCE · HAWKS, RTMC & SAPS JOINT OPERATION

Authorities have arrested a man believed to be part of a cartel behind a multi-million-rand fraud scheme involving the licensing of motor vehicles. The man allegedly assisted vehicle owners to fraudulently renew vehicle licences using the National Traffic Information System (NaTIS) from his private residence.

He was arrested in Parys, Free State, on Tuesday evening during a joint intelligence-led operation. The operation was conducted by a team comprising members of the Road Traffic Management Corporation's National Anti-Corruption Unit, the South African Police Service's Crime Intelligence Tactical and Special Operations, the Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation (Hawks), and cyber units from Crime Intelligence and the Hawks.

It is alleged that the suspect is part of a syndicate operating in southern Gauteng and the Free State. The syndicate allegedly works with government officials across provinces to renew vehicle licences on NaTIS. The group targets Driver Licence Testing Centres (DLTCs) where biometric systems have not yet been installed.

According to the RTMC, the syndicate also has credentials for private vehicle testing stations and can capture and declare vehicles as roadworthy on the system. The RTMC and police have been investigating the matter for the past three years and believe more arrests are imminent.

"The suspect, believed to be an IT specialist, implicated former transport officials, NaTIS users and active NaTIS users from different provinces, as well as the National Department of Transport. The arrest represents a breakthrough in investigations into the activities of this syndicate."

MARYLAND WOMAN AND GHANAIAN NATIONAL SENTENCED TO 70 MONTHS IN FEDERAL PRISON FOR ROLE IN NATIONWIDE ROMANCE SCAM — RECEIVED OVER $1.6 MILLION FROM VICTIMS · USED FAKE LLC TO LAUNDER FUNDS

Nana Takyiwa Adonu, 43, of Odenton, Maryland — a Ghanaian national — was sentenced on July 22, 2026, to 70 months in federal prison for money laundering, stemming from her participation in a nationwide romance scam. The case was prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney's Office, Southern District of Iowa.

According to court documents, Adonu played an integral role in an extensive romance scam conspiracy in which individuals created fake profiles on internet dating sites and social media platforms to exploit victims for financial gain. Adonu operated "Han-Dak LLC," a company she used to receive money from victims. She received over $1.6 million from victims, including over $55,000 from a victim in the Southern District of Iowa.

Victims sent Adonu money believing it would facilitate uniting them with their purported romantic partners. Many victims drained their retirement accounts, sold their homes and vehicles, returned to work after retirement, and borrowed substantial sums from friends and family.

When confronted by the FBI, Adonu claimed Han-Dak LLC was a legitimate garment production company producing clothing in China. She subsequently produced false invoices, fake "customer" and "vendor" lists, and other fabricated documentation in response to a federal grand jury subpoena in an attempt to obstruct the investigation.

"Romance scammers exploit victims when they are at their most vulnerable. They prey on innocent people by convincing them a relationship is real, then slowly abuse that trust to steal their life savings. Some victims lost their entire retirement accounts. This case is an egregious example of the ruthless persistence exhibited by scammers who enrich themselves at the expense of vulnerable people. The FBI will continue using every tool at our disposal to apprehend these criminals and bring them to justice."— Eugene Kowel, Special Agent in Charge, FBI Omaha Field Office

Adonu's co-defendant, Naabanyin Aniagyei-Cobbold, was sentenced in March 2026 to 108 months' imprisonment and ordered to pay $1,554,442.46 in restitution. According to the FBI, in 2024 approximately 59,000 people fell victim to romance-related scams, losing over $672 million.

CRIME WATCH GLOBAL EXCLUSIVELY REVEALS: FBI UNCOVERS CRYPTOCURRENCY ACCOUNT CONTAINING MILLIONS OF DOLLARS BELONGING TO JIBRIL BARON — USED FOR MONEY LAUNDERING FROM SCAM PROCEEDS

Jibril Baron (JBC) · Arrested Morocco · Jun 2026

Crime Watch Global can authoritatively break the news that Jibril Baron — also known as Jibril Baron Cash (JBC) — owner of Jibril Building Construction, who was arrested in Morocco in June 2026 following an Interpol Red Notice tied to a U.S. investigation involving the FBI and other law enforcement agencies, has had a major new development in his case.

Crime Watch Global can today reveal that the FBI has uncovered a cryptocurrency account belonging to Jibril Baron containing millions of dollars. According to our intelligence sources, the account was used by JBC as a vehicle for money laundering — channelling proceeds derived from scamming victims through the cryptocurrency platform to conceal and legitimise the funds.

The discovery of the crypto account marks a significant escalation in the case against Baron, providing investigators with a direct financial trail linking the alleged fraud proceeds to his assets. The FBI's financial crimes investigators are continuing their work as extradition proceedings are expected to advance.

If you have any information relating to Jibril Baron, his associates, or the wider fraud and money laundering network, contact Crime Watch Global in strict confidence at crimewatchglobal@gmail.com.

GBESE DISTRICT COURT ORDERS EXTRADITION OF DANIEL YUSIF TO USA — CO-CONSPIRATOR OF ABU TRICA SEEKING PLEA DEAL AND READY TO SPILL ALL · ABU TRICA FACING 15–20 YEARS, CARS AND HOUSES SEIZED BY FBI

Daniel Yusif (top right) · Abu Trica (handcuffed, bottom) · Co-Conspirators

Crime Watch Global can confirm that the Gbese District Court in Ghana has ordered the extradition of Daniel Yusif — co-conspirator of Ghanaian social media personality Abu Trica — to the United States to stand trial in connection with an alleged $8 million romance fraud and Business Email Compromise (BEC) scheme. The extradition process has already begun.

Our sources tell Crime Watch Global that Daniel Yusif has decided to cooperate fully with US authorities, seeking a plea deal for a lesser charge in exchange for telling the full truth about the romance scam operation he and Abu Trica were involved in. He is expected to become a key witness in the case.

Crime Watch Global can confidently confirm that Abu Trica will not be returning to Ghana anytime soon, contrary to what some believe. The FBI has accumulated so much evidence that Abu Trica is expected to be sentenced to between 15 and 20 years in a US federal prison. As previously reported, all of Abu Trica's luxury vehicles are now in the possession of the FBI and will be sold, along with his houses and other assets, to recover money for victims.

Yusif is accused of working with Abu Trica and other members of an alleged international cybercrime network involved in online romance scams and BEC schemes targeting victims globally. Abu Trica has already been extradited to the United States where he has pleaded not guilty to charges including conspiracy to commit wire fraud, wire fraud, and conspiracy to commit money laundering. His case remains before a US federal court.

FAKE BANK CALLS ASKED FOR ONE-TIME CODES — FRAUDSTER RUSHED NEW DEBIT CARDS TO CAPE CORAL · SANTINO PARRENO GUERRA, 31, ARRESTED

Santino Parreno Guerra, 31 · Cape Coral, FL · In Custody

Bank customers across several states received calls from people posing as representatives of their financial institution. The callers asked for one-time passcodes and account-verification details, which were then used to contact the real bank, change customers' mailing addresses, and request expedited replacement debit cards sent to Cape Coral addresses — putting them directly under the fraudsters' control.

Detectives with the Cape Coral Police Department's Economic Crimes Unit connected Santino Parreno Guerra, 31, to fraudulent cash withdrawals and high-value money-order purchases tied to the compromised accounts. Economic-crimes detectives and the Cape Coral Police SWAT team executed a search warrant on a residence on Northeast 24th Avenue on the morning of 23 July 2026, found evidence, and took Guerra into custody.

He was transported to Lee County Jail and booked on charges of fraudulent use of personal identification involving a victim age 60 or older, grand theft, and resisting an officer without violence. The investigation remains ongoing.

INDIAN NATIONAL ARRESTED IN HONOLULU FOR ALLEGED ROLE IN GOLD BAR SCAM — ELDERLY VICTIM HANDED OVER $137,000 IN GOLD BARS AFTER SCAMMERS POSED AS U.S. MARSHALS

Harsh Fojalal Shah · Arrested Honolulu · 20 Jul 2026

U.S. Attorney Ken Sorenson announced that Harsh Fojalal Shah, an Indian national, was arrested in Honolulu on 20 July 2026 and charged by criminal complaint with conspiracy to commit wire fraud.

According to the complaint, Shah served as a courier in a "gold bar purchase" scam in which conspirators impersonated U.S. Marshals and told the victim — identified as "Jane Doe" — that her identity had been compromised. The scammers used fear, secrecy, and high-pressure tactics to convince her to liquidate her savings and purchase gold as a supposed way to protect her money.

Jane Doe ultimately handed over nine gold bars valued at more than $137,000. Investigators said the conspirators then pushed her to liquidate her retirement account for an additional $429,000 before law enforcement intervened and put a stop to the scheme.

NOTORIOUS FUGITIVE ARRESTED IN CONNECTION WITH $547 MILLION MEDICARE FRAUD SCHEME — EXTRADITED TO THE USA

Satary · Also known as Carlos Omar Chaheen Martinez · Mexican passport N07849984

Khalid Satary, 54, was charged by indictment in 2019 in the Eastern District of Louisiana as part of one of the largest health care fraud schemes ever charged by the Department of Justice.

From 2016 to 2019, Satary owned and operated several diagnostic testing laboratories throughout the United States that billed Medicare for expensive and medically unnecessary genetic tests. He allegedly conspired with dozens of patient recruiters, telemarketing call centers, and telemedicine companies to utilise deceptive marketing campaigns and illegal kickbacks and bribes to generate cancer genetic test samples reimbursed at $10,000 to $20,000 per sample.

Through his laboratories, Satary billed Medicare for over $547 million. He also allegedly paid millions in illegal kickbacks and bribes to doctors and patient recruiters. The government seized 16 bank accounts and restrained real estate in connection with the indictment.

"This defendant allegedly orchestrated a massive fraud scheme that preyed on thousands of elderly patients, deceiving them into undergoing expensive, medically unnecessary tests and fraudulently billing the government for more than half a billion dollars. Thanks to the outstanding work of our partners at the FBI, this defendant was brought back from overseas to face justice in the United States. Our message to fraudsters is clear: If you steal from American taxpayers and exploit vulnerable patients, we will find and prosecute you, no matter where you are."

Suspects wanted — South African Hawks

The Hawks (DPCI) in North West have appealed to the public for help in tracing three men accused of defrauding a 52-year-old Klerksdorp nurse of R2.5 million in an alleged romance scam.

The Hawks said the woman met a man who identified himself as Emmanuel Kigezi in August 2025, and they entered into a romantic relationship. Kigezi allegedly told the woman that he was due to inherit R14 million from his late father but first needed R1.2 million to perform rituals to "cleanse" the will before the inheritance could be released.

"The suspect allegedly persuaded the woman to resign from her job so she could access her pension benefits," said Hawks spokesperson Lt-Col Tinyiko Mathebula. The complainant resigned from work and received a R2.5 million pension payout. She then allegedly transferred R2 million into bank accounts of two companies as requested by Kigezi for the "cleansing" of the R14m will. After receiving the money, Kigezi and his accomplices disappeared.

Have you received an email claiming to be from INTERPOL? Beware — this is always a scam. INTERPOL never contacts members of the public directly, never demands money, and will never ask for your bank details or any money transfer.

Scammers misuse INTERPOL's name because it sounds serious and legitimate. Some go as far as creating fake messages using the name and photo of the INTERPOL Secretary General, falsely claiming the recipient is the subject of a Red Notice in order to intimidate them into paying money. Don't be misled by official-looking stamps or names — this correspondence is fake.

❌ "You have been a victim of fraud. We are INTERPOL and can help recover your money."

❌ "Your photo is on an INTERPOL wanted persons website. Confirm your details."

What INTERPOL Will NEVER Do

FBI OPENS LEGAL ATTACHÉ OFFICE IN ACCRA TO TACKLE FRAUD AND CYBERCRIME IN AFRICA

FBI Legat · Accra, Ghana · West Africa · Cybercrime · Romance Scams · Financial Fraud · Terrorism · Organised Crime

The United States has strengthened its partnership with Ghana in the fight against transnational crime by establishing an FBI Legal Attaché (Legat) Office in Accra. The new office will serve as the FBI's official liaison with Ghanaian law enforcement agencies, helping to combat cybercrime, romance scams, financial fraud, terrorism, organised crime, and other cross-border criminal activities.

The Accra office will coordinate investigations, facilitate intelligence sharing, and support joint operations between the FBI and Ghanaian security agencies. Unlike traditional FBI offices in the US, the Legat office does not conduct independent law enforcement operations but works closely with local authorities on investigations.

The office has already played a role in major investigations — it recently assisted Ghanaian authorities in the arrest and extradition of Frederick Kumi (Abu Trica), accused of leading a romance fraud network that allegedly defrauded more than 80 elderly Americans of over $8 million. The operation involved cooperation between the FBI, Ghana's EOCO, the Ghana Police Service, the Cyber Security Authority, and other agencies.

The establishment underscores the growing security partnership between Ghana and the United States, with both countries pledging to intensify efforts to dismantle criminal syndicates that exploit digital platforms to target victims across the world.

The head of a bogus government agency set up in the Nigerian president's office has been arrested after weeks in hiding. Adeniyi Adeyemi Matthew, who called himself Director General of the purported Presidential Foreign Investment Promotion Council (PFIPC), was detained in the south-western state of Osun State. His arrest followed a warrant issued by the Federal High Court in Abuja after he failed to appear at a hearing to face charges of forgery and impersonation. The case gripped Nigeria after President Bola Tinubu ordered a corruption investigation into the fictitious agency — which had secured a budget of almost $1 million. Police operatives from the Force Intelligence Department and Intelligence Response Team were involved in the arrest. The suspect is to be taken to police headquarters in Abuja for further questioning.

A teacher and storekeeper, Eric Blankson, who worked at AFATI (Amankwa Fisheries Agriculture Technical Institute) in the Afram Plains North, has been brutally murdered.

A companion who had been with him at his MoMo shop during a heavy downpour and blackout later went to check on him and noticed his sandals were outside but the door was locked with a padlock — unusual behaviour for the deceased.

Devon & Cornwall Police · Former Conservative Minister & Reform UK Spokeswoman · MP for Maidstone 23 Years · Not Terrorism

A 26-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder following the death of Ann Widdecombe, police say. Devon and Cornwall Police confirm a white British male is in custody after the 78-year-old was found dead in her home on Thursday, having suffered serious injuries.

The incident is not being treated as terrorism and there is "no information" to suggest it was politically motivated. Police say it is too early to comment on whether the suspect was known to Widdecombe.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer described the murder investigation as "shocking news." Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch said she was "stunned" over the "horrific" incident.

Widdecombe, a former Conservative minister turned Reform UK spokeswoman, served as the Member of Parliament for Maidstone in Kent for 23 years and was one of the most recognisable political figures in British public life.

A Nigerian man has been extradited to the United States to face prosecution over alleged sextortion of a minor which led to the victim's death. Hassanbunhussein Abolore Lawal, 24, from Nigeria's Osun State was flown to the US on Saturday after an agreement was reached with the Nigerian government that he would not be sentenced to death if found guilty. Lawal appeared in federal court in Columbia, South Carolina, wearing an orange prison jumpsuit and shackles, and entered a not guilty plea to charges including child exploitation resulting in death and production and distribution of child sexual abuse material. The investigation was launched after Gavin Guffey, 17, took his own life — Lawal allegedly posed as a young woman on social media, coerced the teen into sending compromising photos, then extorted and sent harassing messages threatening to leak them unless paid money. He later did the same to members of the victim's family. Lawal faces the possibility of life in prison; the charge of child exploitation resulting in death carries a mandatory 30-year sentence.

Crime Watch Global can confirm that the appeal has been thrown out. Kumi will now be extradited to the United States — the transfer is expected to take place anytime from July 2026 onwards.

Two Men Charged for Allegedly Stealing $600,000 from 88-Year-Old Man — Strike Force Borlase

NSW Financial Crimes Squad · Yagoona, Australia · Ages 22 & 25 · Liverpool Local Court

Financial Crimes Squad detectives under Strike Force Borlase have charged two men for allegedly stealing more than $600,000 from an 88-year-old man after convincing him to hand over access to his bank accounts and credit card. Over the course of a year, the men allegedly spent the victim's money buying shares and transferring funds to themselves and others. A search warrant was executed at a unit in Yagoona on 1 July 2026. Both men — aged 22 and 25 — were refused bail and appeared at Liverpool Local Court on 2 July 2026.

"This is an elderly man who relied on others for support, and instead he was allegedly exploited for financial gain. It's an appalling betrayal." — Det Supt Gordon Arbinja, Financial Crimes Squad Commander

On March 7, 2024, Marset was indicted in the United States on money laundering charges, stemming from the movement of drug proceeds through U.S. financial institutions.

This follows the largest and most consequential organized crime investigation ( Operation A Ultranza Py) against cocaine trafficking in Paraguayan history, which linked Marset's criminal network to more than 16 tons of cocaine seized in Europe — including an 11-ton seizure at the port of Antwerp in April 2021 and a 4.7-ton seizure in Paraguay. In August 2023, Bolivian authorities announced a $100,000 reward for Marset's arrest.

The FBI and U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York dismantled a Ghana-based criminal organisation responsible for stealing more than $100 million from businesses and individuals through romance scams and business email compromise. Three senior ringleaders — Isaac Oduro Boateng ("Kofi Boat"), 36; Inusah Ahmed ("Pascal"), 40; and Derrick Van Yeboah ("Van"), 40 — were arrested in Ghana and extradited to the United States, arriving August 7, 2025.

Court documents describe a sophisticated operation running from approximately 2016 to May 2023. Workers contacted vulnerable, elderly victims over text and social media, convincing them they were in genuine romantic relationships. Money was laundered through U.S.-based money mules and shell companies in automobile sales, food imports, and freight trucking before being sent in large tranches to West Africa.

Boateng, known as "Kofi Boat," was publicly associated with top Ghanaian celebrities including dancehall artist Shatta Wale, who referred to Boateng as his "godfather." After news of the arrest broke, Shatta Wale publicly distanced himself: "Make una no watch my life and link me wit any bad case. I be clean pesin." The fourth co-accused — Patrick Kwame Asare — was charged but remains a fugitive and has not been detained.

Former Ghana Black Stars International Footballer

Former Ghanaian international footballer Samuel Inkoom was arrested by Senya Bereku Police during a middle league match in Accra on 12 July 2026 and taken to Senya Bereku Police Station on a fraud charge. He slept in the police cells overnight.

As he was being prepared for court, Inkoom pleaded with police to settle the case out of court, telling officers he already has 6 different fraud cases before the courts and feared that a new court appearance would result in him being jailed. He made calls to raise funds, and GH₵8,000 (equivalent to $714) was paid. He was released on the condition that he pays the remaining balance by 16 July 2026.

Inkoom has more than 6 active court cases arising from fraud allegations, which led to his passport being seized by the courts of Ghana. Three further pending fraud cases remain active at Senya Bereku.

$3.7 Billion Medicare Fraud — One of the Largest in U.S. History

The FBI's successful Foreign Transfer of Custody (FTOC) of Ibrahim Khaldoon Hilmi marks one of the most significant fraud apprehensions in U.S. history. Hilmi is charged with orchestrating a $3.7 billion scheme to defraud Medicare. He fled the United States in May 2025 and was subsequently detained by Turkish authorities. The FBI's resolve to pursue fugitives who flee from justice did not waver.

Hilmi's flight from Turkey landed in South Florida. His initial court appearance was scheduled for 10 a.m. Monday following arrival, with charges unsealed at that time. FBI Miami investigated this case jointly with HHS-OIG. This FTOC was part of a historic 24-hour operation bringing four fugitives back from four continents, representing over $5 billion in collective fraud.
