Accused visa scammer in Accra court

Police arrested Timothy Binob Mussah for lying to three people about travel help. The 39-year-old jobless man appeared at Accra Circuit Court, facing fraud charges. He told the court he did not do these bad things. Judge Isaac Addo let him go home if he paid GHC100,000 bail money. The court wants him back on May 7, 2025.

Mr. Mussah met his first victim through another person named Ebenezer last November. He pretended he worked for Globon Link Consult as a travel helper. He told Godsway Asempa, an electrician from Taifa, about special Mongolia visa deals. Asempa believed him completely. Mussah took GHC35,000 plus Asempa's passport at his office in Dzorwulu.

Mussah found his second victim at a local event. He told Jangboja Ibamondo, a market seller from Konkomba, that he arranged travel papers. Ibamondo trusted him with GHC30,000 plus his passport. Later, Mussah called both men, saying their travel papers were ready. He asked each man for GHC5,000 more to buy plane tickets.

Asempa brought his friend Obed Boadi to meet Mussah. Boadi studies in Dunkwa. Mussah promised the same travel help to him. He took GHC7,000 from Boadi. When January 27 came, nobody received any travel papers or tickets. The men called Mussah many times. He kept making excuses but never delivered anything.

The angry victims reported everything to police officers. After the police had caught Mussah, he returned all three passports and GHC15,000 of the GHC82,000 he took. The police divided this money between all three men. Court papers show Mussah lives in Adabraka, Accra. The police chief, Jonas Lawer, runs the case against him.
