QNET supported EOCO in the repatriation of 33 Burkinabe nationals rescued during a July anti-trafficking operation linked to a suspected travel scam syndicate.
QNET has supported the repatriation and handover of 33 Burkinabes rescued during a recent anti-trafficking operation in Ghana. The Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO), with assistance from QNET, INTERPOL and local law enforcement, carried out the operation on July 21, 2026. The operation targeted a travel scam syndicate and led to the arrest of 44 foreign nationals, including 34 from Burkina Faso, 8 from Côte d'Ivoire, 1 from Mali and 1 from Nigeria.
On August 13, 2026, the 33 Burkinabes were repatriated and handed over to INTERPOL Burkina Faso at the Paga Border Post. QNET's involvement in the operation highlights its commitment to combating human trafficking and fraudulent recruitment schemes, as well as its role in addressing the misuse of its name by criminal networks.
