Two people before court for an alleged fraud
Mampong-Ashanti, Nov. 21, GNA - Two people on Friday appeared before a
Mampong-Ashanti High Court for allegedly defrauding 37 people in the sum of GH¢42,941
under the pretext of securing them admission into the Mampong-Ashanti Midwifery Training
School.
The pleas of Alexander Oduro Acheampong 29, Secretary and Computer Administrator
of the School and Theresa Boahemaa, 27 were not taken.
The court presided over by Mr Justice Jacob Boon remanded Acheampong in prison
custody to re-appear on December 3, 2009 while Theresa was granted GH¢20,000 bail with
two sureties to be justified and in addition surrender her passport and report to the police
every Tuesday.
Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Abdulai Iddrissu, prosecuting told the court
that the accused persons were arrested on October 27, this year after the police had been
informed of their inability to fulfil their promise and refund the monies to the people.
He said the police were still investigating the case because more people were reporting
of allegedly being defrauded by the accused persons.
