EOCO declares businessman wanted
The EFCC's counterpart in Ghana, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), recently grabbed headlines after declaring a businessman wanted for fraud.
In a June 16, 2026 statement, EOCO said the wanted individual had engaged in investment fraud but shared no further details.
The agency implored Ghanaians who have any information about the wanted individual to contact them or the nearest police station to make a report.
Despite the EOCO's sparse notice, reports emerged on social media indicating that the accused had been facing accusations of scamming individuals for close to a decade.
In a Twitter post, a user shared screenshots received from individuals who had allegedly dealt with the fugitive and ended up losing huge sums of money.
Joseph Owusu Badu was described as a popular socialite known for his social media exploits and flaunting large sums of cash which were apparently fake but designed to lure his victims into a false sense of security when dealing with him.
