Ghana's EOCO and QNET Arrest 320 in Kumasi in Country's Largest Anti-Trafficking Operation

Ghana's Economic and Organised Crime Office, working with QNET, arrested 320 people in Kumasi on November 6, 2025, in two simultaneous operations targeting trafficking and job scam networks operating under the guise of the direct selling company.

Of those picked up, 25 were identified as potential suspects and 295 were deemed victims of human trafficking and fraudulent job offers. EOCO described it as the single largest anti-human trafficking operation in the country. The 25 suspects are undergoing screening and further investigation, with the aim of bringing perpetrators to justice under Ghana's anti-trafficking and economic crime laws.

EOCO said the operation was the result of months of investigations and surpassed a raid in Kasoa about two weeks earlier that led to more than 26 arrests. The agency said it is working with QNET to clamp down on the misuse of the company's brand name to traffic and defraud people, under a memorandum of understanding the two signed in July 2025, and urged the public to report suspicious activity.
