The United States Embassy in Ghana has announced the successful extradition of Joseph Badu Boateng, popularly known as “Dada Joe Remix,” to the U.S. to face multiple fraud charges.
According to a statement shared via the Embassy’s official Facebook page, American law enforcement collaborated closely with Ghanaian authorities to facilitate the transfer.
The operation was jointly executed by the FBI and special agents from the Diplomatic Security Service.
“Mr. Boateng was indicted for allegedly running a fraud ring that used romance and inheritance schemes to defraud American victims of several million dollars,” the U.S. Embassy said.
The suspect is currently in U.S. custody and is expected to stand trial in the coming weeks.
His arrest and extradition mark another step in the international crackdown on cyber-enabled fraud and financial crimes.
