Dada Joe Remix Arrested in Alleged Multi-Million Dollar Fraud Case
Popular Ghanaian businessman and socialite Nana Kojo Boateng, better known as Dada Joe Remix, has reportedly been arrested by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) over his alleged involvement in a $2.9 million fraud scheme.
According to multiple reports, the arrest took place on May 27, 2025, following an eight-year investigation by U.S. authorities. The probe reportedly began as far back as 2017, focusing on alleged wire fraud and money laundering involving Boateng and known accomplices.
What the FBI Documents Reveal
Documents shared by online platforms claim that Dada Joe Remix received $2.9 million through suspicious wire transfers from co-conspirators between 2016 and 2018. These funds were allegedly laundered through various local and international channels, prompting the FBI’s direct involvement and eventual arrest.
The Ghana Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) is believed to have cooperated with the U.S. authorities during the investigation.
Charges and Legal Consequences
If convicted in the United States, Nana Kojo Boateng could face:
- 20 years for conspiracy to commit wire fraud
- 20 years for conspiracy to commit money laundering
This brings his possible total sentence to 40 years in federal prison. U.S. authorities are reportedly working on extraditing him from Ghana to face trial.
Public Outcry and Past Allegations
The arrest has shocked many in Ghana, where Dada Joe Remix is well known for his flamboyant lifestyle, luxury car collections, and high-profile public appearances. Despite claiming to be a real estate and oil entrepreneur, questions have long surrounded the legitimacy of his wealth.
Popular Ghanaian personality Showboy alleged in a social media post that the FBI had been tracking Boateng since 2017, but political influence and financial leverage may have delayed earlier arrests.
What’s Next?
While the FBI and Ghanaian authorities are yet to issue official statements, sources suggest extradition proceedings are already underway. The arrest has sparked widespread debate online about white-collar crime, accountability, and law enforcement collaboration between nations.
This development marks one of the most significant international fraud cases involving a Ghanaian figure in recent years.
