Afia Schwarzenegger begs FBI to arrest fraudsters

In a video seen by YEN.com.gh on TikTok, Afia Schwarzenegger petitioned the FBI to carry out more arrests while it is in Ghana.

She said they should storm the nightclubs in Accra, reiterating they are likely to encounter a lot of alleged fraudsters in these joints.

“Go to the nightclubs at 1 am; you will see them. They call themselves ballers; they call themselves 'big men'. You will see them, you will know them, they sit at the VIP table. Confiscate their phones,” she said.

Afia Schwarzenegger said she feels duty-bound as a U.S. resident to report such crimes in Ghana, which she claimed the authorities are aware of but are not tackling.

Joint Police-FBI operation arrests Ghanaian fraudsters

Over the past few weeks, at least four alleged internet scammers, known locally as ‘sakawa boys’, have been arrested by Ghanaian authorities in conjunction with the FBI.

In May, Joseph Kwadwo Badu Boateng, aka Dada Joe Remix, a popular and wealthy businessman/philanthropist, was arrested and processed for extradition to the U.S.

Dada Joe was accused of playing a crucial role in a sophisticated fraud operation that ran from 2013 to 2023.

He was charged with conspiracy to commit wire fraud and money laundering, according to court documents.

On Friday, June 13, 2025, Isaac Kofi Oduro Boateng, popularly known as Kofi Boat, was arrested along with two accomplices for their alleged involvement in a $100m fraud scheme.

According to reports, there are more planned arrests of internet fraudsters in the coming weeks.
