  • 46 victims of human trafficking were rescued in Nigeria during two separate operations coordinated by INTERPOL and the Nigeria Police Force.
  • Seven suspects, including members of a QNET-linked network and a woman accused of defrauding victims of GHC 126,000, were arrested in connection with the transnational trafficking ring.
  • Victims, mostly Ghanaian nationals deceived with fake job offers in Europe, have been handed over to the Ghana High Commission in Abuja for repatriation.

 

The Nigeria Police Force has rescued 46 individuals and apprehended seven suspects in connection with a cross-border human trafficking ring, following coordinated operations led by INTERPOL National Central Bureau (NCB), Abuja.

Force spokesperson, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, in a statement, revealed that the crackdown followed intelligence shared by INTERPOL NCB in Accra.

“In a coordinated operation based on a message received from INTERPOL NCB Accra, operatives of INTERPOL NCB successfully rescued 31 victims who had been trafficked from Ghana to Nigeria under the false pretense of securing employment opportunities in Europe,” the statement read.

According to the police, investigations traced the exploitation to August 2024, when a Ghanaian man, Samuel Dankwah Opoku, was lured by George Tenkron with a fake job offer in Spain. He was instead diverted to Nigeria and became entangled in the fraudulent network of QNET.

Adejobi said, “It was further uncovered that the victim had paid thirty thousand Ghanaian Cedis (GHC 30,000) to one Attah Amankwaah, a Ghanaian residing in Nigeria and a known member of the QNET network.”

During a raid on the network’s base, police arrested six suspects, including Amankwaah, and recovered several items linked to the criminal operation. The 31 victims were later handed over to officials from the Ghana High Commission in Abuja for repatriation.

“Detailed statements obtained from both victims and suspects led to the exposure of a wider transnational human trafficking and internet fraud network,” the police added.

In a related case, INTERPOL received a distress alert on June 17 about four Ghanaians reportedly trafficked to Nigeria by a 39-year-old woman, Achiaa Grace Afrifa.

Further findings revealed that Afrifa collected GHC 126,000 from her victims under the pretext of helping them secure jobs overseas.

“Acting swiftly on intelligence, operatives tracked and arrested the suspect on the 18th of June 2025 at No.1 Ikot Ebido Street, Uyo, Akwa Ibom State,” Adejobi stated.

Fifteen individuals were freed from her custody during the operation.

All seven suspects linked to the two incidents remain in custody, pending prosecution upon conclusion of the ongoing investigation.
