A tearful Samuel Twumasi, a 37-year-old driver, experienced an emotional moment of relief when an Accra Circuit Court cleared him of fraud allegations. Prosecutors, represented by Chief Inspector Wisdom Alorwu, requested Twumasi's discharge due to insufficient evidence for prosecution. Judge Samuel Bright Acquah approved the request, formally releasing Twumasi from legal proceedings.
Immediately after leaving the courtroom dock, Twumasi broke down in uncontrollable tears. Police officers attempted to console him with supportive words, but his emotional release continued unabated. Twumasi had previously been unable to meet bail requirements, which resulted in extended police custody during the legal process.
Twumasi was originally charged alongside Isaac Danso, a 38-year-old communication consultant, on conspiracy and fraud charges. Danso remained absent during Twumasi's discharge and was reportedly re-arrested by police in Kasoa. The prosecution alleged that Danso collected $4,000 from Adinan Lamidi and $2,000 from Marwan Mustapha under the pretense of obtaining Canadian visas.
The legal proceedings stem from the initial arrest of both men on September 15, 2024. With Twumasi's discharge, Danso now faces potential solo prosecution for the alleged fraudulent activities. The court's decision marks a significant turning point for Twumasi, who demonstrated profound emotional relief upon his release from legal jeopardy.
