A mobile money fraud
syndicate was forced to repay an astounding GH¢130,000, marking a significant
victory for justice in the Wenchi District Court. In April 2025, Sylvester
Declerq Mensah, an agriculturalist from Wenchi Boadan, stated that his
hard-earned money had been stolen via fraudulent electronic transfers. On
January 18, 2026, five Central Region suspects were taken into custody after a
thorough investigation.
The accused, including
Edward Amuzu and Kwame Tina, entered guilty pleas to charges of conspiracy and
defrauding by false pretense. Taking into consideration that they were
first-time offenders, Presiding Magistrate His Worship Issah Abdul Wahab fined
each of them GH¢6,000 and ordered the immediate return of the recovered
GH¢130,000 to Mr. Mensah. All five men paid their fines in full and were
released, ending a trying time for the victim.
