Update on Kofi Boat’s alleged fraud case
Controversial Ghanaian media personality and musician Abubakar Ahmed, known as Blakk Rasta, has given a new update on businessman Kofi Boat’s alleged fraud case after his extradition to the United States.
Kofi Boat was arrested on Friday, June 13, 2025, in a joint operation involving Interpol and the FBI over an alleged $100 million fraud scheme. His supposed accomplices, Inusah Ahmed and Derrick Van Yeboah, were also picked up, while a fourth suspect, Patrick Kwame Asare, fled from authorities.
According to the FBI, Kofi Boat and his team allegedly made about $100 million through romance scams and business email compromise schemes dating back to 2016. They reportedly targeted elderly Americans and U.S. companies and convinced them to send money into accounts linked to their network.
Their arrests followed an order signed by the Minister of Interior, Hon. Alhaji Mohammed Mubarak Muntaka, on March 18, 2025. Afterward, they were held by the National Investigations Bureau and made several court appearances on their extradition case.
Kofi Boat has continued to deny involvement in the alleged fraud. His lawyers have also disputed the reported $100 million amount, insisting the real figure was closer to $300,000, which they claim came from legitimate business dealings.
During the latest episode of his show The Black Pot, Blakk Rasta spoke about the difficult conditions Kofi Boat and the others are facing in the US after their extradition. He said they all pleaded not guilty during their first court appearance in New York.
