Ghana romance‑scam pastor arrest

Entities: Accra Circuit Court · Instagram · Nana Yaw Bonsu Kwarteng · Sally Akosua Amoasah · Ghana Police Service

Overview

Ghana Police arrested Nana Yaw Bonsu Kwarteng, a 35‑year‑old online pastor, and his wife Sally Akosua Amoasah after uncovering a multi‑year romance‑scam. Kwarteng used an Instagram persona to promise marriage, present promise rings, and meet victims’ families, then obtained intimate images and blackmailed the women for money while also running a fictitious tyre‑import scheme. Seven victims—including an ambassador and businesswomen—reported losses dating back to 2021, with amounts such as US$33,000 and GH₵25,000 taken from individual complainants. Both suspects were arraigned before Accra Circuit Court 1 on six counts of conspiracy to commit crime, fraud by false pretences and non‑consensual sharing of intimate images. Kwarteng was remanded in police custody; Amoasah was released on bail of GH₵100,000 with sureties. The hearing was adjourned to 6 August 2026, and police say further complaints continue to be received as investigations proceed.
