Police in Accra have arrested a businessman for alleged fraud. The suspect is accused of defrauding several people of more than GHS500,000.

Authorities say the businessman promised lucrative investment opportunities to his victims.

Instead of delivering on these promises, he issued dud cheques. These cheques could not be cashed.

The Ghana Police Service is handling the ongoing investigation into the matter.

The total amount of money involved in the alleged fraud is over GHS500,000.

Further details about the victims and the exact nature of the investments are part of the police inquiry.
