Popular Ghanaian blogger Gossips24TV shared the allegations and the arrest by the Ghana Police Service on Instagram on Monday, July 27, 2026, igniting widespread outrage across social media.
How Pastor Bonsu allegedly ran the scam
According to the allegations, Bonsu presented himself as a Ghanaian pastor and told his targets that divine revelation had shown them to be his future wives.
Using this spiritual framing, he reportedly cultivated deep emotional connections with multiple women at the same time, making promises of love, marriage, and a shared future together.
Once he had gained their trust, Bonsu allegedly encouraged the women to invest thousands of dollars into what he described as his tyre business, assuring them the returns would fund their life together after marriage.
Victims claim the marriages never materialised, and they were left with nothing to show for their investments.
The allegations also state that Bonsu was already married while pursuing these women, adding another layer of betrayal to the reported scheme.
His wife Sally Akosua Amoasah is also facing accusations of being involved in the alleged romance scam scheme and is reported to have also been apprehended by the police.
The two have reportedly been charged and arraigned before the court, with legal proceedings currently ongoing.

"You can't chop a woman's money and go scot-free unless she doesn't want to mind you, lol. You'll never be respected as an opportunist man. A man is one who works hard to take care of his woman and not the other way round. He must be ashamed of himself."
