\"cedis\"<\/a>THE ODUMASE-KROBO Police, upon the orders of the area\u2019s circuit court, have burnt fake cedi notes worth GH\u00a2410.<\/div>\n
The fake notes were detected by the Bank of Ghana (BoG) after it carried out a forensic examination on them.<\/div>\n
The notes, comprising ten GH\u00a25 notes and 36 GH\u00a210 notes denominations, were found on the accused person, Daniel Nyarko Matey, a 63-year-old farm labourer and resident of Nyameama near Akosombo in the Eastern Region.<\/div>\n
Justice Asiedu Akwasi Asmah of the Odumase-Krobo Circuit Court gave the order after Chief Inspector Emelia Ebeheakey, a prosecutor, told the court she would discontinue with the case for want of prosecution.<\/div>\n
She said the witnesses in the case, Yaw Demanya and Enoch Tetteh, a driver and his mate, had continuously failed to appear in court.<\/div>\n
According to her, on December 9, 2009, at about 9pm, the witnesses approached an Allied Oil Filling Station pump attendant at the Odumase Junction to buy diesel with an amount of GH\u00a2180 in GH\u00a210 denomination.<\/div>\n
She said the pump attendant and the complainant, upon suspecting the money to be a fake, quickly called in the area\u2019s police who arrested the driver and his mate.<\/div>\n
Upon interrogation, Yaw Demanya and Enoch Tetteh mentioned the accused as the one who gave them the money at Nyameama to buy some sugar and rice at Agormanya for him, she narrated.<\/div>\n
Later, when the suspects led police to arrest the accused, additional GH\u00a2230 cedi notes suspected to be counterfeits were found in his room \u201cand when he was interrogated, he alleged that two unidentified young men gave him the notes at Kejetia, Kumasi, for genuine cash of GH\u00a2200. He admitted giving the GH\u00a2180 to the two suspects.\u201d<\/div>\n
The cedis notes, prosecution narrated, were sealed and sent to the BoG for examination and in its report on May 27, 2010, the BoG\u2019s report indicated that all the notes were fake.<\/div>\n
The accused was later arraigned after police investigations.<\/div>\n
Chief Inspector Emelia Ebeheakey advised the general public to be on the alert and quickly report such cases to the police for onward arrest.<\/div>\n
\u201cWe need the assistance of the general public to assist us weed out miscreants in our society,\u201d she entreated.<\/div>\n
The counterfeit cedi notes were set ablaze at the forecourt of the court in the presence of the court\u2019s registrar and police.<\/div>\n
