The saga of the "supposed Russian" national involved in the viral leaked tapes has reached the highest diplomatic levels. Today, Tuesday, February 17, 2026, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs officially summoned the Russian Ambassador to Ghana, His Excellency Sergei Berdnikov, to register the government's strong displeasure.
The Summoning
Acting on instructions from the Minister for Foreign Affairs, the government formally protested the "atrocious conduct" of the individual, stating that the non-consensual recording and distribution of intimate images violates Ghanaian law and dignity.
The Twist: A Fake Identity?
In a surprising revelation, Ambassador Berdnikov told officials that the Russian Federation is unable to confirm the nationality of the suspect.
• The Name: The Ambassador disclosed that the name currently circulating in the media is not a known Russian name.
• The Meaning: Instead, the name represents an "inappropriate or vulgar expression in the Russian language," suggesting the suspect is using a pseudonym to mock his victims.
Global Pattern & Manhunt
The Ambassador further revealed that this individual has engaged in "similar activities" in other countries, which are already under investigation by Russian experts.
Despite the absence of a formal extradition treaty, the Russian Embassy has pledged full cooperation, promising to share information to help Ghana apprehend the suspect and bring him to justice.
