The National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE) has cautioned that Ghana’s social fabric is under serious threat, with internet fraud and money rituals increasingly being normalised, particularly among the youth.
Speaking at its maiden national dialogue on the theme “Empowering Citizens, Promoting Accountability” on Tuesday, September 9, 2025, the Deputy Chairman for General Services at the NCCE, Victor Brobbey, noted that fraudulent practices such as internet scams and money rituals have steadily crept into society.

“We continue to see a disturbing trend across communities. What we’re experiencing today is not just a mere lapse in values; it is a crisis of moral direction. The moral compass that drives our society, shaped by religion and a deep sense of common responsibility, is currently being replaced by a new order. Our young people are under immense pressure to acquire wealth by any means necessary,” he said.

“Sakawa, internet fraud, scamming, and money ritual practices have crept into mainstream youth culture. Internet fraud is no longer frowned upon in many communities; it is now seen as a symbol of intelligence. So-called men of God are exploiting the vulnerable, deepening the erosion of values,” he added.
Victor Brobbey reaffirmed the NCCE’s commitment to rebuilding the conscience of the nation through public education.
