Artiste manager, Kwesi Ernest has accused Ghana’s leaders of selling the country
Artiste manager and entertainment pundit, Kwesi Ernest, has criticised Ghanaian leaders following the FBI’s act of trooping into the country to arrest some Ghanaian citizens.
Recently, popular businessmen, including Kofi Boat and Dada Joe Remix, are alleged to have to have been arrested following their involvement in a $100 million scam.
Speaking on this development during a discussion on Peace FM, shared on X on June 21, 2025, Kwesi Ernest blamed the country’s politicians for what he described as allowing the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to arrest these individuals on Ghanaian soil.
He emphasised that leaders should be ashamed of borrowing huge sums of money from foreign countries, effectively making Ghana vulnerable to external powers.
“In Ghana, our politicians are borrowing huge sums of money to buy V8 only to drive them on the bad roads. Isn’t it shameful that politicians go for loans only to buy V8? We have sold our country to the whites because how can they take a flight into the country and arrest citizens?” he maintained.
Kwesi Ernest also pointed out that Ghana has its own judicial system where Kofi Boat and the other alleged scammers should’ve been tried.
According to him, it is unnecessary for the government to approve their extradition to the U.S.
“Don’t we have the Supreme Court and the High Court in this country? So, if Kofi Boat has stolen from them, can’t they face trials here? “Where is our sovereignty as a nation if such a thing can happen under the watch of the government?” he added
Charges
According to documents on the U.S. Department of Justice website, Dada Joe has been charged with running a romance scam and has been extradited to the United States.
Meanwhile, Kofi Boat and three other alleged suspects are currently facing extradition proceedings at a Ghanaian Magistrate Court.
After their initial court appearance following the arrest, the Magistrate Court adjourned the hearing to July 1, 2025.
