A healthcare worker from Kumasi-Tafo faces fraud charges after allegedly collecting money from colleagues for a fabricated United Kingdom travel opportunity. Esther Asamoah Dufie received bail totaling 100,000 cedis with two guarantors from the Asante Akropong District court after pleading not guilty to defrauding by false pretence.
Ruth Afia Antwiwaa and another victim paid 54,090 cedis into a Cal Bank account that Dufie provided, believing the travel arrangement came through her brother stationed with British military forces. The suspect promised to facilitate visa processing but disappeared after receiving payment, prompting the complainant to file a police report at Abuakwa station.
Authorities initially granted Dufie inquiry bail after she admitted wrongdoing and requested time for restitution, but she absconded before being her at Tafo. She returns to court under the jurisdiction of Emmanuel Wiafe Adu for further proceedings.
