A supposed preacher and self-styled marriage counsellor has been arrested for allegedly sexually abusing a minor and uploading explicit recordings of the abuse onto pornographic websites.
The arrest was revealed by the Minister of Communications, Digital Technology and Innovations, Samuel Nartey George, in a post on his Facebook on Sunday, March 8, 2026.
The suspect, identified as Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Conduah, was arrested by the Cyber Security Authority (CSA) in collaboration with the Ghana Police Service during an operation in the early hours of Friday, March 6.
The Cyber Security Authority, the Minister says, picked up the suspect as preparations were underway to commemorate Ghana’s 69th Independence Anniversary, following the Authority’s investigations into alleged online sexual exploitation involving a minor.
“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,” Sam George wrote on his Facebook.
He explained that the suspect who presents himself publicly as a radio-based international marriage counsellor, is facing offences relating to child sexual abuse material under Sections 62 and 63 of the Cybersecurity Act, 2020 (Act 1038).
According to the lawmaker and Minister, initial investigations suggest that the alleged abuse involved a 17-year-old minor, where the act had reportedly been ongoing for approximately four years before he was apprehended.
Several recordings and online publications allegedly made by the suspect on international pornographic platforms were also uncovered by the Cyber Security Authority upon further investigations.
