Following reports that Ghanaian business mogul, Joseph Boateng, popularly known as Dada Joe, has been arrested for defrauding individuals of approximately $2.9 million, new details have emerged from his arrest.
On May 27, 2025, social media reports claimed that Dada Joe had been arrested by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in connection with suspected fraudulent activities.
In the aftermath of his arrest, several people close to the businessman, including his cousin, Showboy, and best friend have gone to social media to detail the reason for his arrest.
Dada Joe's best friend, Big Baby T, has admonished people, through a series of posts, to desist from making a mockery of Dada Joe's arrest. "I find it interesting how folks are excited and busily spreading news about the mishap that has befallen our brother, and yet these same people failed to put the same keenness and enthusiasm in reporting or sharing his philanthropic contributions," he said.
