The Cyber Security Authority (CSA) of Ghana has once again demonstrated its firm commitment to protecting the country’s digital space, following a successful joint operation with National Security that led to the arrest of 32 suspected cybercriminals.

The early morning operation, carried out at Kasoa Tuba in the Central Region, targeted a well-organised romance scam syndicate allegedly operated by the suspects, all of whom are reported to be Nigerian nationals. The group is believed to have been engaged in online romance fraud, a crime that has affected countless victims across the globe and continues to tarnish the image of countries used as operational bases.

This latest bust marks another significant milestone in Ghana’s ongoing fight against cybercrime. In recent times, the Cyber Security Authority, working closely with state security agencies, has intensified surveillance, intelligence gathering and enforcement actions aimed at dismantling cybercrime networks operating within the country.



Authorities say the operation was intelligence-led and forms part of a broader strategy to make Ghana an unattractive destination for cybercriminal activities. Items believed to have been used in the alleged scam operations are expected to be analysed as investigations continue, while the suspects are likely to be processed in accordance with Ghanaian law.

Stakeholders and members of the public have praised the Cyber Security Authority and National Security for their swift and decisive action, describing it as a clear signal that Ghana will not tolerate cybercrime in any form.

Supporters of the Authority have also reaffirmed their commitment to backing its efforts, stressing the need for sustained collaboration between security agencies, policymakers and the public to curb the menace of cyber fraud.

As cybercrime continues to evolve, the latest operation underscores the importance of vigilance, strong institutions and coordinated national efforts. With continued support and enforcement, Ghana is steadily positioning itself as a hostile environment for cybercriminals while safeguarding its digital economy and international reputation.
