A disturbing cybercrime syndicate operating from both inside and outside Ghana’s major correctional system (Nsawam Medium Security Prisons) has been exposed, following the arrest and remand of one suspect linked to a sexual extortion ring, targeting a 37-year-old woman in Accra.
The Accra Circuit Court, presided over by Her Honour Susana Eduful, heard that between July 2023 and March 2025, the syndicate, allegedly led by individuals identified as Ramzy (currently at large), Michael Tumi (an ex-convict now in custody), William Ekpe (currently serving term at Nsawam Medium Security Prisons) and James Afoakwa (also at large) extorted money from the victim (name withheld), by threatening to release sexually explicit images of her online.
