A Nkwanta South Magistrate Court has sentenced one Francis Akwesi, a 31-year-old man, to 15 months imprisonment over fraud and impersonation.
The convict, Francis Akwesi, pleaded guilty to the charges of impersonation and for defrauding a local farmer, Godfred Yindan, of GH¢15,000 under the pretence of securing him a job at the Ghana Armed Forces.
Seidu Kumi, an officer of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), told the court presided over by Wellington Arhin that the convict, Akwesi, had been impersonating a military official and using a fake identity to gain the trust of unsuspecting victims.
The prosecution told the court that the convict promised Yindan that he could facilitate his enlistment into the Armed Forces for a charge.
