    Reporting by Punch indicates Ghanaian authorities arrested 141 Nigerians in a crackdown linked to suspected cybercrime activity.

    The arrests highlight intensifying regional pressure on online fraud networks and the diplomatic sensitivities that follow large-scale detentions of foreign nationals.

    Echotitbits take: This will test consular response and law‑enforcement cooperation. Watch for public charge sheets, verified victim counts, and whether both countries set up stronger joint cybercrime tasking rather than periodic raids.
