A 35-year-old man has been granted bail by an Accra Circuit Court. He is accused of defrauding a businessman.
The court granted him bail in the amount of GHc20,000. He must provide two sureties when he appears in court.
The accused allegedly collected GHc76,000 from the complainant. This happened while promising to secure a parcel of land for him.
The Ghana Police Service presented the case to the court. The prosecutor stated that investigations are ongoing.
The businessman reported the alleged fraud to the police. An investigation led to the man's arrest.
The court considered the bail application after hearing arguments from both sides.
The case was adjourned to a later date for further hearing. The accused is expected to cooperate with the police investigation.
