‘Online pastor’ romance scam cases to be consolidated and moved to High Court

The Attorney-General's Department plans to consolidate two cases against Nana Yaw Bonsu Kwarteng, an alleged "online pastor" accused of defrauding women, and move them to the High Court. Kwarteng, along with his wife Sally Akosua Amoasah, faces six counts of conspiracy to commit crime, including defrauding by false pretences. Sally is also charged with possession of obscene material.

Prosecutors allege that Kwarteng, who ran an Instagram page as a pastor, began communicating with victims in October 2024, promising marriage and collecting various sums of money under the guise of car tyre business investments. Some victims claim Kwarteng recorded intimate content and used it to blackmail them. Sally has been granted bail with two sureties and ordered to report to law enforcement regularly. The case is set to resume on September 8, 2026.
