The Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) has announced a significant breakthrough in its ongoing campaign against organised crime.
Working in partnership with QNET, the agency has apprehended 320 individuals in Kumasi as part of a major operation targeting human trafficking and fraud.
The coordinated raid, carried out on Thursday, November 6, 2025, represents the largest anti-human trafficking operation ever conducted in Ghana and marks a major step forward in EOCO’s effort to dismantle networks that have been exploiting people under the pretext of QNET-related business activities.
In a statement, EOCO explained that the Anti-Human Trafficking Unit executed two simultaneous operations at different sites in Kumasi, leading to the arrests.
Preliminary assessments have begun to classify those detained, with 25 individuals identified as possible suspects linked to the trafficking and fraud network, while the remaining 295 are believed to be victims of employment scams and human trafficking connected to QNET operations.
This latest operation exceeds the scale of a previous raid in Kasoa just two weeks earlier, which resulted in the arrest of 26 individuals. EOCO explained that the Kumasi operation was the culmination of “meticulous investigations conducted by EOCO over several months,” adding that it reaffirms the office’s commitment to “detecting, investigating, and prosecuting economic and organised crime.”
The 25 suspected perpetrators are currently being screened and will face further investigation, with EOCO indicating that the objective is to “bring perpetrators to justice” and ensure convictions under Ghana’s anti-human trafficking and economic crime legislation.
The agency also confirmed it is working closely with QNET to “clamp down on the misuse of their brand name to traffic and defraud innocent individuals.”
EOCO has urged the public to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities, assuring citizens of its “continued commitment to fighting economic and organised crime.”
