The alleged scammer, whose name was given as Portia, had been charging as high as GH₵700 to GH₵800 for registration.

In contrast, the DWP Academy only charges GH₵80 per head for their walk-in dance sessions. The academy emphasises that it requires members to pay their fees in person at their studio and not online.

The academy posted a video on social media to expose Portia's operations and educate interested members who want to join their dance classes in future.

Speaking to YEN.com.gh, entertainment analyst Alexander Fiifi Abaka assessed DWP Academy's way of handling the suspect saying,

"When a crime is committed you give it to the people who have been given the legal authority to handle issues. Taking the law into your own hands is wrong. Doing a video and those other shenanigans doesn’t create a good image as well. They could have released a press statement and leave it at that, but they handled it wrongly. It’s a wrong image on them. Sadly."
