The Accra Regional Police Command has arrested three foreign nationals in connection with alleged SIM Box fraud operations uncovered within residential apartments at the Sakumono Ramsa Site.
The arrests were made on Wednesday, January 21, 2026, following intelligence-led operations by the Police. The suspects have been identified as Timileyin Fakunle (30), Begun Adedeji (31), and Olamide Roheemot (28). They were arrested in separate apartments within the same area.
A search conducted at the apartments led to the retrieval of sophisticated electronic devices, including SIM boxes and several assorted SIM cards, believed to have been used for fraudulent telecommunication activities.
During interrogation, the suspects mentioned two other accomplices, identified only as Mike and Kpalumi, who are currently at large. They further indicated that their alleged ringleader, identified as Tomy, a Chinese national who remotely controls the SIM boxes, is also at large.
The Police say efforts are underway to collaborate with the National Communications Authority (NCA) to ensure the safe removal and technical examination of the retrieved exhibits to aid ongoing investigations.
The suspects are currently in police custody as investigations continue.
Meanwhile, the Accra Regional Police Command has cautioned the public against renting or subletting premises to unknown persons without proper background checks. Property owners and residents are urged to remain vigilant and promptly report any suspicious activities to the Police.
The Command has reaffirmed its commitment to combating cybercrime and telecommunication-related offences.
