Ghana and Kenya Investigate Presumed Russian National for Secretly Recording Sexual Encounters

Ghana and Kenya pursue cross-border and cybercrime investigations into a Russian national accused of sharing intimate videos without consent, with victim support services activated.

  • On Wednesday, Ghana summoned Russia's ambassador to express strong displeasure and seek cooperation over an investigation into a man believed to be Russian, accused of secretly recording women. The ambassador acknowledged the privacy violations but could not confirm the suspect's nationality.
  • Last week, Ghana's Gender Ministry said non-consensual recordings are criminal, and Kenya's gender minister condemned the alleged Russian national for sharing explicit content on social media.
  • Authorities are coordinating psychosocial and legal support via confidential support channels and toll‑free helplines, while the government works with the Ghana Police Service and international partners to secure evidence as the suspect may be abroad.
  • Foreign Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa instructed the summoning to express Ghana's strong displeasure, while Ambassador Berdnikov said he could not confirm the suspect's Russian nationality and called the purported media name an "inappropriate or vulgar expression", also expressing willingness to cooperate.
  • The case has sparked widespread debate on Ghanaian social media with calls for accountability, while Kenyan media reported viral videos allegedly showing Kenyan victims, prompting cross-border cooperation.
