Why FBI is trending on X now

FBI is trending on X - Social media, particularly X, has been awash with conversations about the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) following widespread media reports of the alleged arrests of some Ghanaians believed to be involved in a $100 million fraud scheme involving Business Email Compromise (BEC) and romance scams.

The four suspects are reportedly facing extradition to the United States following their arrests in a joint operation between Interpol and the U.S. FBI on June 13, 2025, with one still at large.

Following this development, Ghanaian netizens have taken to social media platforms to share their perspectives.

Netizens have expressed their satisfaction with the arrests, commending authorities for taking action against what they believe to be fraudsters who have been terrorising their innocent victims.

According to them, the arrests will help restore some level of order in the country, particularly in Accra, where these individuals reside and roam.

Additionally, they believe it will reduce the peer pressure these individuals exert on young men.

Also, netizens have urged the FBI authorities to apprehend all other individuals associated with the arrested suspects, including the women they engage with, citing that they may have also received a share of the money believed to be proceeds of crime.

Others have observed that the FBI's crackdown on individuals suspected of engaging in cybercrime has led many influential figures in Accra to go into hiding, fearing arrest and extradition.

On the other hand, some have attributed the recent arrests to information allegedly provided to US authorities by Mona, also known as Hajia 4 Real, following her release from a US prison for her involvement in a romance scam.

One user said, “Forget it! everybody snitches when FBI get hold of them so they can reduce their sentencing!!.”
