Eight Nigerian nationals believed to be involved in high-level cyber fraud schemes have been remanded in custody following a intelligence-led police swooped on a residential premises in Kotokrom, situated within the Sunyani East Municipality.
Officers from the Bono Regional Police Command raided a secluded, self-contained property used by the network as an operational base.
A search of the building yielded a significant haul of electronic equipment, including 19 mobile phones, tablets, laptops, internet receivers, and a high-speed router used to facilitate their illegal online activities.
The intelligence gathering by local security forces led directly to the compromised hideout, neutralising what investigators consider a structured digital fraud hub operating in the region.
Alarmed by the development, local residents have urged property owners and landlords to exercise thorough due diligence and verify the identities of prospective tenants before letting out property.
Members of the community also appealed to state authorities to ensure the suspects face strict judicial prosecution or be immediately deported to their home country to deter further criminal networks from establishing bases in the municipality.
Police confirm that investigation remains ongoing, with forensic analysis currently underway on the seized gadgets.
