National Security names pastor as suspect in alleged counterfeit currency syndicate

Ghanaian pastor Rev. Emmanuel Boakye-Danquah has been named as one of several suspects in connection with an alleged nationwide syndicate involved in the production and distribution of counterfeit currency, according to the National Security Council Secretariat (NSCS). The pastor is currently at large following coordinated operations that took place between June 12 and July 24, 2026, during which four major counterfeit currency printing centres were dismantled.

The operations, which followed months of intelligence gathering, resulted in the arrest of 16 suspects and the seizure of four printing machines, six vehicles, two motorcycles, and large quantities of counterfeit notes and materials. Intelligence gathered suggests that some of the networks used churches and other religious facilities as concealment points due to the low-suspicion environment they provided.
