CID rescues 110 foreign nationals from Qnet scam at Kuntunse

The CID’s Anti-Human Trafficking Unit has rescued 110 victims of a suspected Qnet scam operation at Kuntunse Satellite in the Greater Accra Region. The victims, who are Cameroonian and Ivorian nationals, were reportedly lured into the country with promises of lucrative employment opportunities.

However, upon arrival, they were subjected to exploitative conditions under the guise of network marketing. The early morning operation was conducted following weeks of surveillance and intelligence gathering by the police.

The victims have since been taken into protective custody as investigations continue to identify the perpetrators and dismantle the network behind the scheme.

Preliminary findings from police sources suggest that the suspects employed Qnet—a disputed online business platform—as a front to recruit and exploit unsuspecting individuals from other West African countries.

The CID has reaffirmed its commitment to intensifying the fight against human trafficking and transnational scam operations, cautioning citizens against fraudulent job offers, especially those requiring upfront payments or recruitment through unverified agents.

Efforts are reportedly underway to locate and arrest key members of the criminal syndicate believed to be operating across several regions.
