Featured Oct - 06 - 2026 , 13:45 2 minutes read The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has issued a travel advisory warning Ghanaians seeking employment in Zambia to exercise extreme caution, following the arrest of six Ghanaians in Lusaka during a joint operation targeting organised cybercrime.

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.

In a statement issued on October 5, the Ministry said it has observed with concern the emerging trend of Ghanaians being lured to Zambia through fraudulent employment opportunities and subsequently subjected to coercive conditions and forced involvement in cybercrime activities.
