The police have arrested 22 Nigerians for allegedly engaging in cyber-crime.
According to the police a Ghanaian taxi driver, believed to be an accomplice, was also arrested.
They were nabbed at their hideout at Oyarifa in Accra.
The Police told Citi News that they are processing the suspects for court and will ensure that they are repatriated in coming days.
The police believed that the repatriation is in the right direction and will help reduce the level of crime in the country.
Cyber-crime to cost Ghana $100m in 2018
An information security expert had earlier told Citi News that Ghanaian businesses stand to lose 100 million dollars from cyber-crime in 2018, if pragmatic measures are not put in place to minimize it.
According to a Managing Partner at cybersecurity firm, Delta 3 International, Del Aden, the incidence of cyber-crime in Ghana will continue to rise unless businesses put effective counter measures in place.
“Businesses in Ghana stand to lose nearly 100 million dollars to cyber-crime. That’s why everyone needs to sit up and implement effective measures of counter cyber-crime,” he warned.

These Nigerians knows how to swindle people...i just don't know how they were created...I hate them to the max...all the care about is stealing....jail them instead of repatriating them!!
Take their finger print , jail them 2years and send them back to where they came from. If u find them in the country again label the financial terrorist and give the life imprisonment.
THEY SHOULD BE JAILED AND REPATRIATE THEM AFTER SERVING THEIR SENTENCE. I RECOMMEND BAWKU PRISON FOR THEIR SENTENCE TO FEEL THE HEAT.
Only to repatriate them? Why not jail them if they are found guilty of the crime they are being suspected of doing? For me repatriating them back to Nigeria is COS 90 job because they will definitely come back. They only get to Nigeria, make a new passport and the following week they are back in Ghana. Don't you know that our borders are porous?
