An Accra Circuit Court has sentenced a 38-year-old private bailiff to four years imprisonment in hard labour for forging the signature of a retired judge for an attempted fraudulent transaction.
Kojo Budu Jackson forged a district court order on certificate of divorce under the hand of a former judge of the Ejisu District Court in the Ashanti Region.
Jackson denied the offence (forgery of judicial service document) but later changed his plea to guilty when prosecution was about to start its case.
The court convicted him accordingly.
