Agyei-poku, the witness, informed the court that he reported a fraud case after being conned by Agyemang, Sonia, and Boison.

“$10100 was collected from me for the passport and document. Agyemang told me that $30,000 would be needed for the processing, but I could pay half of the money.”

Agyei-poku claims that after spending some time in a marketing firm after arriving in Nigeria, he was kept there and later contacted the Ghanaian police to report his fraud.

Following that, the second witness, a Ghanaian named Francis Atomani, claimed that his friend Sylvester Aboagye had introduced him to a travel agent who went by the name of Saturday and had advised him to travel to Nigeria to complete the travel.

He said, “Aboagye told me that since I am unemployed, there was a job opportunity in France, and that I should bring $1200 to process my document. I borrowed the money and he connected me with an agent, one Saturday.

“Aboagye told me to come to Nigeria and when I got to Mazaza, Lagos, on August 16, 2022, I connected with Saturday, who connected me with one Kennedy, who took me to the Next Level Hotel in Mazamaza.

“Aboagye met me in the hotel the next day and told me it was not safe to keep $1200 on me, collected the money, and was taking me to another location to meet another agent when three guys bombarded us and said some policemen arrested some Ghanaians. When I realised my life was in danger, I reported at Ghanaian embassy and was immediately taken to the station.”JAMB Result
