Ghanaian social media personality Joseph Badu Boateng, popularly known as Dada Joe Remix, has been arrested following an extradition request from the United States.
According to the Attorney-General’s Office, Dada Joe Remix is facing serious charges in the U.S. related to fraud and money laundering.
🔍 What Happened?
Dada Joe Remix was picked up by Ghanaian authorities on June 7, 2024. This came after U.S. officials requested his extradition to face charges in Virginia.
The U.S. government accuses him of being part of an online fraud syndicate that tricked people through romance scams, fake investment schemes, and business email compromises — stealing large amounts of money in the process.
Reports say he used his flashy online presence to create trust and attract victims. His arrest is part of an ongoing crackdown on internet fraudsters with international links.
⚖️ Legal Process Underway
The Ghanaian court is currently reviewing the extradition request, and Dada Joe Remix remains in custody while legal procedures continue. The Attorney-General says Ghana is committed to working with international partners to fight cybercrime.
