A currency trader who allegedly dishonestly appropriated various sums of money, belonging to three traders, has appeared before an Accra Circuit Court.

Mahamud Adams Sidik is alleged to have collected $14,000 and 800,000 Naira.

He is said to have asked traders to pay the above monies into a friend's account to avert attacked by armed robbers in Nigeria where they were going to purchase items and offer them for sale in Ghana.

Sidik after collecting the money went into hiding.
