Mr. Ato Ampah has been on the wanted list of the police since September 2010 for allegedly defrauding thirty (32) members of his party in Dome-Kwabenya to the tune of GH\u00a296,440. He took the money with promise of securing them American Visa. <\/p>\n<p>Mr. Ampah went into hiding when he failed to secure his victims the visa until luck run out of him last Thursday when of the persons he has defrauded saw him at Amasaman and arrested him. <br \/>He was first taken to the Madina Police station and later transferred to the Nima Police station. He would be arraigned before the Greater Accra regional tribunal tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>Before his arrest, the victims had sent a petition to the NDC Headquarters but to no avail.<\/p>\n<p>Below is a copy to the petitions: <\/p>\n<p>The General Secretary, <\/p>\n<p>Petition For Redress<\/p>\n<p>This is to inform you that Mr.  Sampson Ato Ampah was the former Constituency Chairman Dome-Kwabenya. He is now the Chairman of the Zonal Council (Dome).<\/p>\n<p>During the year 2009, Mr. Sampson Ato Ampah informed us that he had gotten the opportunity from the NDC party to organize the members in the Constituency to enable them obtain a Visa and travel to the USA and that time the US President Barack Obama visited Ghana.<\/p>\n<p>He further explained that it has been agreed between the two presidents that about one thousand sympathizers will be offered job opportunity at Minnesota.<\/p>\n<p>He again explained that likewise, the Kenyan Government was also given the same opportunity to send 1,000 people to work in the USA. <\/p>\n<p>As a follow-up he started giving photocopies of visas to those he has given his consent. Mr. Sampson Ampah has collected monies amounting to GH\u00a296,440.<\/p>\n<p>He informed us finally that he will travel outside the country on the 27th of May, 2010. As at date all his contact numbers are not available. We decided to go public but because of our love for the party NDC-we decided to lodge a complaint to your outfit for a redress. <\/p>\n<p>Infact, he is at large and we want to know if the NDC party is aware of this trip to the US.<\/p>\n<p>We want our money or let the law take its course for us to save the image of the NDC.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks <br \/>Yours faithfully, <br \/>Ahama Joshua<\/p>\n<p>(Secretary of Dunamis Branch, Taifa) <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ghanamma.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/201ed65bget.media_818-150x90.gif\" \/><\/p>\n<p>See more here:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> After seven months of playing hide and seek with the police, Mr. Sampson Ato Ampah, the immediate past chairman of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) party in Dome \u2013 Kwabenya constituency has finally been arrested<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-343446","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 -
