A 23-year-old small-scale miner, who tricked two mobile money vendors and received a cash sum of GH¢8,000 through electronic means falsely, has been fined GH¢12,000 or, in default, six years of imprisonment by the Tarkwa Circuit Court.
Charged with four counts of receiving payments through electronic means falsely, Ahmed Abdul Rahaman pleaded guilty with an explanation.
The court, presided over by Mrs.
Hathia Ama Manu, noted that Rahaman's explanation confirmed his guilty plea, and therefore, convicted him on his own plea.
