A Ghanaian businessman, Abdul Hayyu Oudou, has appeared before an Accra Circuit Court for allegedly defrauding a Chinese national of GH¢1,141,510 and US$1,900.

Oudou who pleaded not guilty to defrauding by false pretences, was granted bail in the sum of GH¢2 million with four sureties, three of whom must be gainfully employed.

The court, presided over by Evelyn Asamoah, also ordered him to deposit his passport at the Court's Registry.

Oudou is expected to reappear on August 12, 2025, while prosecution, led by Chief Inspector Ebenezer Teye Okuffo, files disclosures.
