Three convicted for defrauding trader of GH¢38,450 through fake MoMo transaction
Three individuals were convicted by the Assin Fosu District Court for defrauding a 26-year-old trader of GH¢38,450 through a fraudulent electronic money transaction. The convicts are 24-year-old footballers Francis Appiah and Emmanuel Oteng, alias Flow Delli, and 21-year-old Emmanuel Antwi, all residents of Assin Breku. The court, presided over by His Worship Abdul Majid Iliasu, ordered them to refund the full amount taken from the complainant, Shalean Stella Bamfo.
The incident occurred on July 21, 2026, when Appiah contacted Ms Bamfo and falsely claimed he had mistakenly transferred money to her. She was deceived into transferring GH¢38,450 through e-cash to three MTN numbers registered in the names of Saar Hassana, Rebecca Bosiako Antwi, and Sarah Gyeti Arthur. Appiah later transferred GH¢6,290 to Antwi as his share. The three were arrested at a hideout in Assin Breku. After conviction, they refunded the entire GH¢38,450 to the complainant. His Worship Abdul Majid Iliasu considered them first-time offenders but warned them against returning to criminal activities, stating they risked imprisonment if arrested again.
