MONROVIA — The Liberia National Police (LNP) has forwarded and charged three fraudsters accused of duping a businesswoman of US$1,500 under the guise of arranging a trip to Canada.
Those sent to the Monrovia City Court are Daniel T. Saah, Darius Biah, and Massiamy Fofana, all reportedly employees of QNET/Infinity Millennial Liberia. Police said the suspects were apprehended on October 21, 2025, following a formal complaint filed by victim Hawa P. Saah, a Monrovia-based businesswoman.
According to investigators, the alleged scam took place in June 2025 at the LPRC Community in Gardnersville, where they convinced Madam Saah to pay for a so-called “Canadian travel program.”
Police said Madam Saah was first contacted by a woman identified as Cecelia, who claimed to be recruiting participants for a Canadian travel opportunity. Acting on the call, the victim traveled from Lofa County to Monrovia to finalize her enrollment.
Upon arrival, she met the three defendants, Saah, Biah, and Fofana, who presented themselves as program facilitators. They allegedly demanded US$1,500 in cash, which the victim paid, and received a receipt issued under Infinity Millennial Liberia.
Investigators said that after attending what she believed to be an orientation session, Madam Saah later discovered that the “travel program” was actually a QNET marketing scheme. Realizing she had been deceived, she contacted her former boyfriend, who immediately alerted the police.
Suspects’ Confessions
During police interrogation, Defendant Daniel T. Saah admitted receiving US$495 from the victim as part of what he called a “QNET business fee.” He said the remaining balance was handled by other staff.
Defendant Darius Biah, 29, a native of Gharlay Town, Maryland County, confirmed being a staff member of QNET but denied taking any money from the complainant. Defendant Massiamy Fofana also admitted working with QNET but denied ever meeting or receiving funds from Madam Saah.
Investigation Findings
A police report signed by Inspector John D. Kumah, Commander-in-Charge, concluded that the suspects “criminally conspired and obtained US$1,500 from the complainant under pretense.”
Investigators recovered US$700 from the defendants and obtained the original receipt bearing the victim’s name. The report added that the trio knowingly deceived Madam Saah by pretending to process travel documents while diverting her into QNET activities.
Charges and Detention
Following the findings, the LNP charged the suspects with Criminal Conspiracy, Criminal Facilitation, and Theft of Property, in line with Sections 10.4 and 15.51 of the Revised Penal Law of Liberia.
They have been remanded at the Monrovia Central Prison pending court trial.
Meanwhile, another suspect identified as Cecelia, believed to have initiated contact with the victim, remains at large. Police say she has been charged in absentia for her role in the fraudulent operation.
