Court defers sentence of couple over GHC1.6 million fraud

It was the case of the prosecution that the complainant, Godwin Kwarne Avadu Donkor, is a businessman who lives in Adenta, Accra.

The prosecution said Donkor contacted the accused in January 2022 to buy a house for his family.

Vera and Ekahtor told Donkor that they had a four-bedroom storey building and that if he paid $290,000, they would sell it to him.

The prosecutor said the accused persons took Donkor to East Legon during the same month and showed him the building for sale.

After inspecting the property, Donkor expressed interest and bargained with them

The prosecution said after Donkor made the payment, the accused person failed to hand over the property to him and instead resold it to one Emmanuel.

According to the prosecution, the couple promised to refund Donkor’s money, but they failed to do so.
