As Ghanaians continue to process reports of high-profile individuals being arrested by the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) over alleged involvement in fraud-related activities, a group of flashy partygoers in Accra have made it clear they remain unfazed.
In viral footage that surfaced on social media on June 22, 2025, a popular upscale nightclub in Accra became the scene of an audacious display.
The video shows a group of revellers, dubbed “ballers”, placing a lavish order for premium drinks.
Before the expensive bottles were delivered, a waiter paraded through the crowd holding a sign that read boldly, “F* the FBI.”
The video captioned “Ballers fully active,” quickly caught fire online, not just for its extravagance but for its brazen message aimed at the U.S. federal agency.
The timing of the stunt, amid ongoing investigations and arrests, has raised eyebrows and sparked heated reactions across social media.
Unsurprisingly, netizens have criticized the move, interpreting it as a direct provocation or mockery of the FBI’s recent operations in Ghana.
“Kwasiasɛm sei aaa then they will come and pick you up,” one user said.
“It’s all fun until you’re the one in custody,” another warned.
A third added, “FBI, recruit us to root all of them out. We value our image and will gladly cooperate.”
The incident comes in the wake of major developments in May and June 2025, when reports revealed that the FBI had conducted covert operations in Accra, leading to the arrest of several individuals, including well-known businessmen Nana Kojo Boateng, also known as Dada Joe Remix, and Isaac Kofi Oduro Boateng, popularly called Kofi Boat.
Sources have indicated that these individuals had long been under investigation by U.S. authorities for their alleged roles in complex financial crimes, including romance scams and money laundering.
Extradition proceedings are reportedly underway to have them stand trial in the United States.
