The Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) has raised an alarm over the rising cases of romance scams in Ghana.
EOCO has disclosed that it has been investigating at least 107 related cases since 2021.
Speaking at the launch of a fraud reporting campaign in partnership with the United Kingdom's National Crime Agency (NCA UK), EOCO called for a whistleblowing strategy to address the growing threat of romance fraud.
Speaking on behalf of EOCO's Executive Director, Director of Administration Edward Cudjoe assured the Ghanaian public that the organization remains committed to tackling financial fraud.
