An Accra Circuit Court has sent a 45-year-old businessman to jail. The court made this decision on April 30, 2026. He is accused of a serious crime.
The businessman allegedly tricked a businesswoman. He promised her a very good investment chance. This promise was not real.
The court heard that the amount of money involved is GH₵500,000. This large sum was allegedly given to the businessman based on his false claims.
The suspect appeared before the court and entered a plea. He stated that he is not guilty of the accusations made against him.
The court has decided to keep him in police custody for now. This allows the police to continue their investigation into the matter.
Further legal proceedings will take place. The Judicial Service will oversee the case.
