Shatta Wale’s godfather, Kofi Boat, has been spotted for the first time after his arrest by the Interpol and the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).

The self-acclaimed businessman, whose real name is Isaac Kofi Oduro Boateng, is reportedly in custody but has made his way to social media.

According to reports, he allegedly fell ill not long after authorities picked him up and was taken to the Police Hospital in Accra.

Kofi Boat and three accomplices, namely, Inusah Ahmed, Derrick Van Yeboah, and Patrick Kwame Asare, were named in an extradition request issued by the U.S. Department of State and routed through the U.S. Embassy in Accra.

They have been accused of defrauding about $100 million through elaborate romance scams and business email compromise (BEC) schemes from American individuals and businesses between 2016 and 2023.

He was arrested on Friday, June 13, 2025, alongside two other accomplices. A fourth member remains at large.
