Adenta: The Adenta Circuit Court 1 has remanded a self-styled international radio marriage counsellor into Police custody over alleged possession of indecent images of a child. Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Conduah, a minister, has been charged with indecent image or photograph of a child, contrary to Section 62 of the Cybersecurity Act, 2020 (Act 1080), and dealing with a child for the purpose of sexual abuse. The court, presided over by Mrs Sedinam Awo Kwadam, did not take his plea and remanded him into lawful custody pending further investigations.
According to Ghana News Agency, the prosecution, led by Deputy Superintendent of Police Fuseini Yakubu, requested Rev. Conduah's remand to facilitate further investigations. Rev. Conduah, 45, is expected to reappear before the court on March 27, 2026. In a post on X, Mr Sam Nartey George, Minister of Communications, Digital Technology and Innovations, confirmed the arrest and remand of Rev. Dr. Conduah, stating, "Cyber Security Team uncovered recordings and online postings by the accused on international porn websites." The Minister praised the Cyber Security Team and emphasized accountability under the cyber laws.
The Cyber Security Authority (CSA), the complainant in the case, arrested Rev. Conduah at his residence at Woraba, a suburb of Eguase in Cape Coast. On December 8, 2025, the CSA received a request from the Cape Coast Regional Domestic Violence and Victims Support Unit for technical assistance to analyze digital devices belonging to Rev. Conduah in a defilement case pending before the Cape Coast Circuit Court. Forensic examination of the devices revealed several child sexual abuse materials involving multiple child victims.
One of the videos reportedly depicted a naked child holding a white card inscribed 'xvidoes.com,' with a male voice instructing the victim to say, "Hi everyone, I am on xvidoes.com." Rev. Conduah was arrested on March 6, 2026, at his residence, where a search uncovered five mobile phones, two hard drives, two memory cards, a computer system unit, sex toys, and female panties. He allegedly recorded the videos and admitted the voice in the background was his. Investigations indicated that the victim in the video was the same as in a case pending before the Cape Coast Circuit Court. Further analysis of the accused person's devices is ongoing.
