Henry Gyan, a former member of the Ghanaian music group Twens, businessman and partner of popular Snapchat influencer Beverly Konadu, has been added to the United States Department of Homeland Security's "Worst of the Worst" (WOW) criminal aliens database.

His addition to the database was reported by Ghanaian online blog The State News in an X post on Sunday, October 11, 2026.

The US DHS database entry, which lists Ghana as his country of origin, cited fraud by wire and identity theft as his crimes, with Fort Dix, New Jersey, recorded as his place of arrest.

Gyan's inclusion comes several months after he served federal prison time on fraud and money laundering charges and was deported back to Ghana.

The Ghanaian businessman was previously sentenced on June 29, 2023, by the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania to 81 months (6 years and 9 months) in federal prison and ordered to pay over $4 million in restitution for his role in a fraud and money laundering scheme.

Ghana's rising numbers on US WOW list

The update that captured Gyan's name was part of a broader revision to the database carried out in late August and early September 2026.

That single update added 12 Ghanaian nationals to the list, pushing the country's total from 32 to 44.

Ghana now ranks third among West African nations on the database, sitting behind Nigeria, which has 134 nationals listed, and Liberia with 111.
