On September 2, 2024, the Ghana Police Service conducted an intelligence-led operation in Kumasi, leading to the arrest of 487 suspects involved in the QNET Ponzi scheme. The operation took place at a house in Adwuman near Kenyasi, a suburb of Kumasi in the Ashanti Region.
Among the arrested were 257 females and 230 males, who had allegedly enticed unsuspecting individuals from various parts of the country, promising lucrative returns on investments through the fraudulent scheme.
During the operation, police retrieved registration documents and other materials bearing the QNET logos, which were used to lure victims.
Twelve key suspects identified as executives of the scheme have been detained. They are Gyereh Evelyn, Francis Kpesah, Samuel Musah, Simon Yakubu, Thomas Kotual, Kwasi Nyabi, Benjamin Nsigma, Elijah Musah, Moses Katu, John Balabon Tagnakibi, James Nogma, and Fidelis Bang-ib. They are currently assisting the police with their investigation.
The police have urged the public to remain vigilant against such schemes and to report any suspicious activities.
