A 40-year-old man, Alhaji Fareed Amin Yakubu, who allegedly took GH¢3 million from a businesswoman under the pretext of investing it in an oil business and paying it back, is being sought after by the police.

This is because the accused has jumped bail.

The accused stopped attending court proceedings after he was granted bail by the Circuit Court in Accra, presided over by Samuel Bright Acquah, on October 13, 2023.

Consequently, Alhaji Yakubu, charged with defrauding by false pretence and two counts of issuing fake cheques, is being tried in absentia.
