Young Ghanaian man arrested in London for rape

A 35-year-old Ghanaian man living in London, identified as Patrick Kwaku Dunyo, has been arrested and removed by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers after arriving at Washington Dulles International Airport.

Dunyo was detained on Saturday, November 22, 2025, when he was flagged as a fugitive wanted by London authorities for alleged child rape charges.

Christine Waugh, CBP Area Port Director for Washington, DC, said the incident shows how global cooperation helps ensure justice for victims.
