A self-styled international marriage counsellor, Ebenezer Conduah, has been arrested over alleged offences related to child sexual abuse material following a joint operation by Cyber Security Authority Ghana and the Ghana Police Service.
The arrest was disclosed by the Minister for Communication, Digital Technology and Innovations, Samuel Nartey George, in a Facebook post on Sunday, March 8, 2026.
According to the minister, the suspect was apprehended in the early hours of March 6, just as the country was preparing to commemorate its 69th Independence Day celebrations.
“In the early hours of 6th March, as the nation prepared to celebrate our 69th Independence Day, the hardworking team at the Cyber Security Authority Ghana effected the arrest of one Rev Dr Ebenezer Conduah in collaboration with the Ghana Police Service,” the minister wrote.
Authorities say the suspect was arrested for offences relating to child sexual abuse material, contrary to Sections 62 and 63 of the Cybersecurity Act, 2020 (Act 1038).
The suspect, who reportedly presents himself publicly as a radio-based international marriage counsellor, is alleged to have been involved in activities linked to the possession and distribution of such prohibited material online.
According to Samuel Nartey George, the alleged abuse involved a 17-year-old minor and had reportedly been ongoing for approximately four years.
Investigators from the Cyber Security Authority are said to have uncovered digital evidence connected to the suspect during the investigation. This includes recordings and online posts that were allegedly uploaded to international pornographic websites.
“The CSA team has uncovered recordings and online postings by the accused on international porn websites,” the minister further disclosed in his statement.
Following his arrest, Conduah was arraigned before a court where he was remanded into custody for three weeks to allow investigators to continue their work and gather additional evidence related to the case.
Authorities say the ongoing investigation will determine the full extent of the alleged offences and whether additional charges may be filed.
Samuel Nartey George commended the Cyber Security Authority for their swift action and professionalism in handling the case, emphasising the government’s commitment to enforcing the country’s cyber laws.
He also issued a strong warning that individuals who violate Ghana’s digital and cybercrime laws will face the full force of the law regardless of their status.
“I congratulate our Cyber Security team and reiterate that if you break our cyber laws, we will find you and hold you accountable, no matter who you are. For God and Country,” he stated.
The case has drawn significant public attention as authorities continue their efforts to combat cyber-related crimes and protect vulnerable individuals, particularly minors, from online exploitation.
Investigations are ongoing.
