A local businessman named Darry Stephen Oppong faces serious legal trouble after being accused of tricking people out of their money with a fake visa processing scheme. The Accra Circuit Court set his bail at 100,000 Ghanaian cedis, requiring two sureties to secure his release.
Oppong allegedly convinced a business consultant named Emmanuel Aboagye to pay him over 221,380 cedis. He claimed he could help people obtain U.S. visas, but investigations showed he was not a licensed travel agent. When people approached Aboagye for help traveling to the United States, he turned to Oppong, thinking he could assist with documentation.
The businessman told Aboagye he processed the visa applications and even claimed he paid two other individuals named Randy Anderson and Richard Quaye. However, he kept most of the money for himself. Aboagye became suspicious of Oppong's behavior and reported him to the police.
When questioned, Oppong admitted to the offense. He now faces serious fraud charges and must return to court on April 28, 2025. The case highlights the risks of working with unauthorized travel agents and the importance of verifying credentials before paying for services. Oppong's actions could result in significant legal consequences and damage to his reputation.
