The Anti-Human Trafficking Unit of the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) has rescued 110 foreign nationals believed to be victims of a Qnet scam in Kuntunse- Satellite , located in the Greater Accra Region.
The individuals mostly from Cameroon and Côte d’Ivoire were allegedly lured to Ghana with false promises of high-paying jobs. Instead, they were subjected to exploitative conditions under the pretext of network marketing.
The rescue followed weeks of surveillance and intelligence gathering by police. The victims are now in protective custody while investigations continue to track down those behind the scheme.
Initial findings suggest that Qnet, a controversial online business platform, was used as a front to recruit and exploit unsuspecting individuals from across West Africa.
Police have assured the public of their commitment to combating human trafficking and cross-border scam operations.
They urge citizens to be vigilant about job offers that involve upfront fees or come through unverified agents.
Efforts are ongoing to identify and apprehend key members of the syndicate believed to be operating in multiple regions.
