The Central East Regional Police Command has arrested 26 persons suspected to be internet fraudsters also known as “Sakawa Boys”.
The suspects, including two female accomplices, were arrested by the police based on intelligence.

During the raid at the houses, the police retrieved 31 laptops, 26 assorted mobile phones, 3 machetes, and some dried leaves suspected to be cannabis, Indian including some candies suspected to have been laced with cannabis.
The Central East Regional Police Commander DCOP Okyere Boapeah Kojo told Bryt FM News Correspondent Eric Owusu Amponsah that, the suspects were being screened for onward prosecution.
The Police Command admonished landlords who rent out their apartments to foreigners particularly Nigerians to conduct proper background checks on them including finding out about their eligibility status from the immigration service.
