A man identified online as Yaytseslav is trending on the local digital space after a series of controversial videos detailing his interactions with Ghanaian women surfaced on Thursday, February 12, 2026.
The man, who introduces himself as a Russian national, is known to frequent the Accra Mall area where he approaches shoppers and passersby, strikes up conversations, and records the encounters.
The videos are later shared online, sparking growing concern about privacy and consent.
In several of the clips circulating online, Yaytseslav is seen persuading some of the women to accompany him to his hotel room.
Social media users have expressed alarm at what appears to be a pattern in which he builds rapport quickly before inviting the women to his residence or hotel.
One particular video that has drawn widespread condemnation involves a female hotel receptionist.
