Some celebrities fear travelling abroad over FBI arrests - MC Yaa Yeboah claims

Following the increasing reports of FBI-linked arrests involving some Ghanaian nationals over alleged romance scams and money laundering activities, Ghanaian media personality MC Yaa Yeboah has expressed concern over the situation.

In a post shared on X on May 23, 2026, MC Yaa Yeboah claimed that some popular personalities may be avoiding international travel due to fears of possible arrest or interrogation at foreign airports.

According to her, the frequent reports of arrests linked to alleged fraud and cybercrime activities have created fear among some individuals who would ordinarily travel abroad regularly.

“Every other week, there’s news about FBI-linked arrests in Ghana. Truth is, some of our favourite personalities can’t comfortably travel abroad. Stop acting clueless. Not everybody avoiding international trips now is ‘too busy’; some are just scared at this point,” she wrote.

The media personality further suggested that some celebrities have developed anxiety over the possibility of airport immigration checks suddenly turning into interrogation sessions.

“They are scared airport immigration might turn into an interrogation room… quite worrying,” she added.

Some of these individuals have reportedly been extradited to the United States, where they are currently facing trial.
