Accra court remands man over alleged GH¢114,000 fraud in travel visa scheme

The court heard that because Apetor was unemployed, the complainant secured a loan from a relative and, between September 24, 2024, and February 17, 2025, deposited money into his Ecobank account.

The prosecution said Apetor secretly obtained an ATM card linked to the account and, between September 25, 2024, and February 17, 2025, withdrew all the money, including the complainant's GH¢114,000, without her knowledge.

According to the prosecution, the travel agent advised them to increase the balance in their bank account to improve their chances of obtaining visas.
