A 45-year-old man named Kwadwo Boateng is in jail after being charged with fraud. He allegedly tricked a businesswoman out of GHS50,000.
The alleged incident happened in Kumasi. Boateng is accused of promising to help the businesswoman get a contract.
He reportedly asked for the money based on this promise. The businesswoman paid him GHS50,000 believing the contract would be secured.
Boateng has denied the charges. He pleaded not guilty when the case was brought before the court.
The Kumasi Circuit Court has decided to keep Boateng in custody. The court will hear the case again later.
This legal action follows an investigation by the Ghana Police Service. Further details will be presented to the court.
