Four hundred and eighty seven individuals suspected of participating in the QNET Ponzi scheme have been apprehended by the Ghana Police Service.

They were arrested on Monday, 2 September 2024, following an intelligence-led raid in the Ashanti Regional capital, Kumasi.

The suspects, which include 257 females and 230 males, were found at a property in Adwuman, a suburb near Kenyasi, Kumasi.

Preliminary investigations reveal that the group allegedly deceived individuals nationwide, promising them lucrative returns on their investments.

Authorities seized a range of evidence during the operation, including registration documents and other materials adorned with the QNET logo, indicating their involvement in the fraudulent scheme.

Among those detained, twelve have been identified as key executives of the scheme.

The suspects include: 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 in police custody and are aiding ongoing investigations.

In response to the crackdown, the Ghana Police Service has issued a public advisory urging citizens to be cautious of similar schemes and to report any suspicious activities to the authorities.
