A junior pastor has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for fraud. Stephen Yaw Gyamfi, aged 32, pleaded guilty to the charges.
He defrauded a teacher of GHC78,800. This money was for a fake job opportunity in Malaysia.
The Nsuta Circuit Court in the Ashanti Region delivered the sentence. The court found him guilty of the fraudulent scheme.
Gyamfi was a junior pastor at the Blessed Gate Worship Centre in Mim. The incident highlights the dangers of fake job offers.
Authorities warn citizens to be cautious of such schemes. They urge people to verify job offers independently.
