The Ghana Police Service has arrested Nana Yaw Bonsu Kwarteng, a suspected romance scammer, for allegedly defrauding several women through false marriage promises and the non-consensual sharing of intimate images.
Preliminary investigations indicate that the suspect posed as a man of God conducting online church services on Instagram.
Through these virtual sessions, he targeted unsuspecting women, claiming divine revelations that they were destined to be his wives. To seal the deception and win their complete trust, he reportedly met with their families and presented them with promise rings.
According to police sources, Kwarteng’s scheme extended into financial fraud and extortion. He allegedly obtained intimate photographs of some of his victims and used the explicit material to blackmail them for money.
In another twist, he enticed several victims to invest in a fake car tyre business, collecting thousands of dollars under the guise of shipping and clearing tyre containers.
Once the funds were transferred, he severed all communication and went into hiding.
Further police inquiries revealed a shocking collaborative effort, as the suspect shared the intimate images of victims with his wife, Sally Akosua Amoasah. Amoasah is accused of subsequently using the private photos to threaten and harass the affected women.
At least seven victims have officially lodged complaints with the police, with investigators revealing that the suspect’s criminal operations date as far back as 2021.
The couple, Nana Yaw Bonsu Kwarteng and Sally Akosua Amoasah, have since been arraigned before the Accra Circuit Court 1. They face charges of conspiracy to commit crime, defrauding by false pretences, and the non-consensual sharing of intimate images.
The court remanded Kwarteng into police custody to reappear on 6 August 2026, while Amoasah was admitted to bail.
Meanwhile, the Ghana Police Service says it continues to receive complaints from other potential victims. Law enforcement authorities are strongly encouraging anyone who may have fallen prey to similar schemes involving the suspect to report to the nearest police station to assist with ongoing investigations.
