Rafik Mahama, special aide to businessman and CEO of Engineers & Planners Ltd & Dzata Cement Ltd, Ibrahim Mahama, has disclosed that the Police Cybercrime Unit of the Ghana Police Service has arrested a key suspect linked to fake investment schemes falsely attributed to Ibrahim Mahama.
He has also dismissed such viral videos alleging Ibrahim Mahama’s involvement in investment schemes, indicating that the suspect has been processed to court to face the law.

“... Steps have been taken to report the videos to the relevant state authorities to deal with it decisively. A key suspect has been arrested and has been processed for court by the Police Cybercrime Unit,” he wrote in a Facebook post.
According to him, the videos were carefully crafted using AI by what he describes as “faceless people or sources,” with the intent to deceive unsuspecting victims and defraud them.
In a Facebook post on Monday, October 13, 2025 to issue a disclaimer, Rafik stated, “The public is hereby put on notice to disregard the Al generated videos being circulated by faceless people or sources about Ibrahim Mahama being engaged in any form of investment scheme or cryptocurrency trading.”
He stated that the businessman is not involved in any fake investment schemes or trading, contrary to the claims made in the videos, calling on the public to ignore such claims and posts.
“Ibrahim Mahama is not involved in any form of investment scheme or cryptocurrency trading or business dealings anywhere. As stated in our previous disclaimers on similar activities by scammers, the videos are fake and should be disregarded,” the post read.
Rafik Mahama accompanied his post with screenshots from a Facebook account alleged to belong to Ibrahim Mahama.
The account was posting videos claiming to have launched an investment scheme called AfriQuantumX, urging Ghanaians to invest and support it.
Meanwhile, GhanaWeb’s attention has also been drawn to images contained in the disclaimer that falsely bears the GhanaWeb logo. We wish to state categorically that GhanaWeb has no connection whatsoever with the said illegal activities mentioned.
The use of our logo in that material is unauthorised and misleading. Readers are advised to disregard any such messages or visuals that appear to originate from GhanaWeb unless published on our official website (www.ghanaweb.com).
