In a jaw-dropping scandal that has sent cold shivers down the spine of the nation, operatives of the Cyber Crime Unit of the CID, supported by the BNI, have arrested a wealthy 36-year-old businessman from the plush suburb of East Legon in the Greater Accra Region, for allegedly turning drugged women into sex slaves and filming everything for his twisted online followers.
The suspect, named as Joshua Kojo Anane Boateng, was arrested on May 6, 2026, in a special intelligence-led operation. Investigators say the married entrepreneur would cruise top nightclubs in Accra, lace ladies’ drinks with the potent sedative Xanax (Alprazolam), then whisk them away to an unknown location where he sexually assaulted them while they were unconscious or too weak to fight back.
But that was not enough, Police revealed that Boateng secretly recorded the entire ordeal, then brazenly uploaded the graphic videos and images onto a Telegram channel he allegedly owned and operated, called “VIP Sleep Fetish 2025.”
The Arrest
Speaking at a press briefing at the CID Headquarters yesterday, Tuesday May 12, 2026, the Director-General of the CID, Commissioner of Police (COP) Lydia Yaako Donkor, dropped the bombshell.
“Investigations indicate the suspect frequented nightclubs in Accra during 2025, approached female victims, and administered alprazolam before assaulting them while they were unconscious or unable to respond,” COP Donkor told journalists. “He then recorded the incidents and shared the videos on Telegram without the consent of the victims.”
The Director-General of the CID, Lydia Donkor added: “It has come to the attention of the police administration that this type of crime is increasing because it is relatively easy to commit, difficult to detect and financially rewarding.
“I want to caution the general public that the police are actively collaborating with international partners and all relevant stakeholders to combat this crime, which dehumanises victims, negatively affects their self-esteem and places their future in jeopardy.”
When officers stormed Boateng’s plush East Legon residence, they hit a goldmine of evidence. Seized items include: two iPhones, a feature phone, memory cards, a MacBook laptop, a Seagate external hard drive and an iSave device
Also recovered were empty sachets suspected to contain Alprazolam (Xanax) and Midazolam (Versed): powerful sedatives often used to knock out victims.
All devices have been sent for forensic examination, while the drugs are being tested by the Food and Drugs Authority (FDA).
Police confirmed that the suspect has already been arraigned before court. Investigations continue.
COP Donkor appealed to the public: “Report any suspected online sexual exploitation to the nearest police station. This crime dehumanises victims, destroys their self-esteem, and puts their future in jeopardy.”
This is a developing story. More soon.
