Authorities of the Liberia Immigration Service (LIS) have called on the Government of Liberia to revoke all legal documents that authorize Q-Net to operate as a legitimate company in Liberia.
According to information gathered by the LIS, Q-Net has been deceiving people by pretending to offer business and educational opportunities. A recent investigation by the LIS revealed that Q-Net is involved in human trafficking, extortion, theft, and fraud in Liberia.
The report states that Q-Net leaders managed to dupe three Liberian women, aged between 18 and 29, by promising them enticing job opportunities in Nigeria and subsequently took away $5,850 from them. The individuals involved have been forwarded to the Liberia National Police (LNP) Anti-Human Trafficking Section for further legal action under Liberian law.
During the LIS investigation conducted on April 4, 2025, three Liberian females—two still in high school and one a graduate—were found traveling to Nigeria based on reasonable suspicion of human trafficking. They were detained by state security for questioning and later turned over to the LIS at the Robert International Airport (RIA).
Miss Susan Nuah, Princess L. Peters, and Pamelia Peters informed investigators that they were traveling to Nigeria after paying over $5,850 to one Mr. Terry Trip Turay of Q-Net, located in Thinkers Village, in 2023. They were promised scholarship opportunities. Due to growing concerns and pressure from their parents regarding these scholarships, Turay decided to send them to Nigeria, where they would be picked up at the airport by his co-worker, Franklin P. Midway.
During the investigation, Turay acknowledged that he had received money from the women to facilitate business opportunities. He provided them with products and later agreed to send their children to a trade school in Nigeria to study computer skills, coordinating through his associates Simeon Karmo, Marshall George, Decent Fineboy Nukaiplie, and Jeremiah Mulbah, who are now in Nigeria.
Following the LIS investigation and findings, the case has been transferred to the Liberia National Police (LNP) for further legal action by the Government of Liberia (GOL).
The LIS recommends that the ranking officials of Q-Net be charged with extortion, theft, and fraud. Additionally, a new investigation into Q-Net for another group of victims is currently ongoing at the LIS.IS.
