The Ghana Bloggers Association is asking the management of Surfline Ghana Limited, providers of internet data to refund monies used to purchase data by an uncountable number of people in the country without actually receiving the data.
Ghanaians have been faced with unsuccessful data purchases from Surfline, one of the major providers in the telecommunications industry for about three months now.
In a Facebook post, the Association revealed that for the past three months, Surfline Communication Limited has received various amounts of monies from their members and a section of the general public who attempted to purchase internet data but proved futile.
“It is surprising that in a space of three months, Surfline as a corporate institution has not refunded the payments they received to Ghanaians for such a huge failure to provide services to its customers.
Members of the Ghana Bloggers Association and the general public have given them ample time but unfortunately, there has been no promising feedback.
“We are asking the management of Surfline Communication Limited, providers of internet data to refund monies used to purchase data by an uncountable number of people in the country without actually receiving the data,”they stated on Facebook
In a separate chat with the President of the Association Andre Mustapha Nii Okai Inusah, popularly known as Attractive Mustapha, added that they sympathise with the company for their technical challenges but they should not have taken monies from the public when they know for a fact that they are not rendering services”, the President of the Association stated.
The Tema Regional Police Command has arrested a 32-year-old man for allegedly posing as a soldier and extorting money from unsuspecting members of the public at Ashaiman.
The suspect, identified as Bright Atsu Kudiabor, was arrested by the Ashaiman Police on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, at about 7:00 a.m.
According to the Police, he was arrested at an area known as “I Shall Return”, where he was allegedly parading himself as a soldier and demanding money from people.
The Police said Kudiabor, who is an ex-convict, was initially arrested by personnel of the Ghana National Fire Service in Ashaiman with assistance from other members of the public.
A search conducted on him after he was handed over to the Police reportedly led to the recovery of a set of military camouflage uniform.
The suspect is currently in Police custody and assisting with investigations.
The Tema Regional Police Command said he would be processed for court after investigations are completed.
The Police urged the public to remain vigilant and report anyone who falsely presents themselves as a soldier or a member of another security agency to deceive or extort money from the public.

Volta Regional Minister, James Gunu, says the Volta Region holds enormous agricultural potential and efforts must be geared towards connecting farmers to the needed resources to unlock that potential.
He said focus must be on linking farmers to resources, technology, financing and markets to increase production, create jobs and build sustainable livelihoods.
Hon. Gunu made the remarks at the national launch of the Ghana Tomato Self-Sufficiency Initiative (GHATSI) held at Anloga in the Volta Region on Tuesday, September 15.
The initiative, under the theme “Produce at Home. Feed the Nation. Export the Surplus,” seeks to boost local tomato production, processing and marketing while reducing Ghana’s heavy reliance on imported tomatoes.
The launch was attended by the Minister for Food and Agriculture, Eric Opoku, his Deputy, John Setor Dumelo, Feed Ghana Coordinator, Bright Demordzi, Members of Parliament, traditional leaders, MMDCEs, farmers and other stakeholders.
Mr.Gunu expressed appreciation to the Minister for Food and Agriculture for the support announced for the region, including two excavators, 200 cartons of organic fertiliser, and GH¢200,000 for Ms. Kuatudzo Esther Dela, a tomato farmer and processor from Ziope.
He described the initiative as an important step towards making agriculture a stronger driver of food security, job creation and economic growth in the Volta Region.
