The Accra Circuit Court Nine has granted a travel consultant GH¢100,000 bail with two sureties for allegedly defrauding a tour operator of $15,000. Margius Adjei, 47, is accused of taking the money, equivalent to GH¢225,000, from a travel and tour operator under the guise of obtaining Nicaraguan visas for his clients. Adjei initially pleaded guilty with an explanation to the charge of defrauding by false pretense, but his explanation led to a not-guilty plea. Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Raymond Ackom told the court that the complainant, Arahman Bashiru, is the Chief Executive Officer of Rashman Travel and Tours and resides in Madina. In May 2023, Bashiru contacted a witness to secure travel documents for his clients, who subsequently introduced Adjei to him.
