Ghanaian content creator Quitachie faced serious backlash on social media after she jumped to the defence of Kofi Boat and other alleged fraudsters.

Her comments led to heavy criticism on social media and eventually forced her to delete her tweets.

FBI arrests Ghanaian scammers

Ghanaian businessman Isaac Kofi Oduro Boateng, popularly known as Kofi Boat, was arrested on Friday, June 13, 2025, by Ghana Police officers in collaboration with the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).

Boat is accused of being the ringleader of a crime syndicate wanted by U.S. authorities in connection with a $100 million fraud scheme.

Aside from the ringleader, two other accomplices – Inusah Ahmed, also known as Pascal, and Derrick Van Yeboah – were also arrested.

A fourth accomplice, Patrick Kwame Asare, remains on the run

Prior to their arrest, Joseph Kwadwo Badu Boateng, aka Dada Joe Remix, another popular and wealthy businessman/philanthropist, was also arrested for fraud.

He was charged with conspiracy to commit wire fraud and money laundering after being extradited from Ghana.

Quitachie defends Kofi Boat

In several tweets, content creator Quitachie attacked the universal condemnation of figures like Kofi Boat.

Some social media commentators argued that the emergence of fraud boys had made females more materialistic, causing young men to have difficulty in wooing them.

Quitachie fired back and said those celebrating the arrest of Kofi Boat are jealous and bitter that they’re not as wealthy as he was.

“It’s weird to jubilate over someone getting arrested just because you haven’t made anything of your life, because how they lived reminded you of what you so badly want and can’t get and not because of how truly bad fraud is & how it’s affected the victims.” she tweeted.

Quitachie faced backlash on social media over her post, prompting a reply from her.

She dismissed the critiques and said half the stories of fraudsters ‘snatching’ girls from hard-working young men were pure myth.

The creator was later forced to delete her tweets amid heavy social media anger.
