George Adu-Twum, a businessman, allegedly defrauded a police officer of GH¢72,000 for two auctioned vehicles. He has pled not guilty to the charges and was granted bail. The case is scheduled to continue in April 2025 after Adu-Twum reportedly hid after receiving the payment.
A 46-year-old man named George Adu-Twum, who stands accused of defrauding a police officer over the sale of two auctioned vehicles, has been presented in court. The prosecution alleges that he misappropriated GH¢72,000 under the pretense of facilitating the officer’s acquisition of these vehicles in 2021. Adu-Twum pleaded not guilty to the charges of fraud, and the presiding judge, Mr. Isaac Addo, granted him bail set at GH¢75,000 with two sureties.
This case highlights the issue of fraud in vehicle auctions, particularly involving individuals posing as legitimate businessmen. The suspect’s inability to deliver the promised vehicles after receiving substantial payment emphasizes the need for caution in vehicle transactions. The legal proceedings will continue with the next hearing scheduled for April 7, 2025, as both parties prepare for trial.
