The Ghana Police Service has arrested Nana Yaw Bonsu Kwarteng for allegedly defrauding several women through false marriage promises and the non-consensual sharing of intimate images.
According to a Police statement, preliminary investigations indicate that the suspect posed as a pastor conducting online church services on Instagram, where he allegedly targeted women and convinced them that God had revealed they were destined to become his wives. Police said he gained the trust of the victims by visiting their families and presenting them with promise rings.
Investigators further revealed that the suspect allegedly obtained intimate images from some of the women and later used the images to blackmail them for money. He is also accused of introducing some victims to a fraudulent car tyre business, collecting thousands of dollars from them under the pretext of shipping and clearing containers of tyres before becoming unreachable.
The Police also alleged that the suspect shared some of the victims’ intimate images with his wife, Sally Akosua Amoasah, who is accused of threatening the victims. So far, seven victims have officially reported the matter to the Police, with investigations indicating that the alleged offences date back to 2021.
The statement said Nana Yaw Bonsu Kwarteng and Sally Akosua Amoasah have been arraigned before Accra Circuit Court One on charges of conspiracy to commit crime, defrauding by false pretences, and non-consensual sharing of intimate images.
The court remanded Nana Yaw Bonsu Kwarteng into Police custody to reappear on August 6, 2026, while Sally Akosua Amoasah was granted bail.
The Ghana Police Service said it continues to receive complaints from other possible victims and has urged anyone who may have experienced similar incidents involving the suspect to report to the nearest Police station to assist ongoing investigations.
