The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has cautioned Ghanaians seeking employment opportunities in Zambia following the arrest of six Ghanaian nationals during a joint operation targeting suspected organised cybercrime in Lusaka.“Ghanaians living in Zambia are also urged to remain vigilant, exercise caution when responding to online employment opportunities, and maintain regular contact with the Ghana High Commission in Lusaka for consular assistance if the need arises,” the advisory stated.

In a travel advisory issued on Monday, the Ministry said it had “observed with concern the emerging trend of Ghanaians being lured to Zambia through fraudulent employment opportunities and subsequently being subjected to coercive conditions and forced involvement in cybercrime activities.
