An Accra Circuit Court on Monday fined two persons a
total of GHC26,400.00 for conspiracy to commit crime and defrauding by
false pretence.
The convicts Corporal Mariam
Ibrahim, a policewoman was fined GH₡ 24,000 or in default serve four
years, and Ida Kyeremaa, trader, fined GHC2,400 or in default serve a
year in prison.
Presenting the facts earlier,
Chief Inspector E. Afful told the court that complainants in the case
are residents of Accra and both convicts live at the Tesano Police
barracks.
He said in the year 2012, the
complainants and eighteen others, who were eager to be enlisted into the
Ghana Police Service, approached the convict, who promised to assist
them.
He said the convicts took advantage of the
situation and collected various sums of money, totaling GH₡ 31,000.00
from the complainants with the promise to assist them but could not
fulfill the promise.
The prosecution said the
complainants, therefore, reported the matter to the police, where the
convicts were subsequently invited for questioning.
“They
admitted the offence in their caution statements and according to
Mariam, the money they collected was given to one Alhaji, a politician,
whom they could not identify to the police,” Chief Inspector Afful
added.
