An Accra Circuit Court has ordered the police to determine the gender of an accused person to decide whether to place them in a male or female cell.

The order came after Christabel Suphiar Sarkodie Tuffour, who faced five counts of defrauding by false pretences, appeared in court.

She allegedly collected a total of €42,889, £8,500, $5,000, and GH¢230,000 from 15 individuals, promising to assist them in obtaining visas to Germany and Canada.

Tuffour, a radiologist, claimed she handed the money to one Ebenezer.
