NIGERIAN MILITARY JET CRASHES IN NIGER. (PHOTO).
Isaac Oduro Boateng (aka Kofi Boat), Inusah Ahmed (aka Pascal), and Derrick Van Yeboah (aka Van) have been extradited to the United States to face charges for their alleged roles in a Ghana-based c,ybercrime ring that stole over $100 million from victims through romance scams and business email compromise schemes.
A fourth suspect, Patrick Kwame Asare (aka Borgar), is still on the run.
U.S. prosecutors say the group targeted elderly individuals with fake online relationships and tricked companies into wiring money.
The stolen funds were laundered to West Africa, often sent to “chairmen” who directed operations — with Boateng and Ahmed alleged to be among them.
Each faces up to 20 years in prison if convicted. U.S. and Ghanaian authorities worked together to secure the extradition, which officials call a major step in the global fight against cyber f,raud.
The charges are allegations, and the defendants remain innocent until proven guilty in court.
