An Accra High Court has ordered a businessman, John Doe, to be held in custody. He is accused of selling land that did not belong to him.
The businessman allegedly collected significant sums of money from several individuals for these plots.
Authorities are investigating multiple reports of fraud related to these land sales.
Judicial Service documents show the court has remanded the suspect. This means he will remain in custody while the investigation continues.
The specific number of victims and the total amount of money involved are still being determined.
This case highlights the risks associated with land transactions and the importance of due diligence.
The court will hear further details at a later date.
Law enforcement is urging anyone with information to come forward.
