\"\"<\/a>Ohene Agyekum, a 29-year-old businessman, was on Wednesday remanded into prison custody for defrauding by false pretence by a Koforidua Circuit Court.<\/p>\n

Agyekum pleaded guilty with explanation but after his explanation, the Judge, Mrs Barbara Tetteh Charway, entered a plea of not guilty for him.<\/p>\n

Prosecuting, Police Inspector Patrick Adzadza, told the court that the complainants were Nana Yaa Berko Oteng and her son Oti Oteng Kwaku.<\/p>\n

He said in May this year, Oti met one Collins Agyei, a witness in the case and told him that he (Collins) had someone who could help him (Oti) join the police service.<\/p>\n

He said Collins then introduced Agyekum to Oti as Sergeant Solomon, who claimed to be working directly under the Eastern Regional Police Commander, Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Gyamerah Yeboah.<\/p>\n

The prosecutor said Agyekum asked Oti to produce his educational certificate and an amount of GH\u00a2 500.00 as cost of processing and connection fee.<\/p>\n

Inspector Adzadza said Oti then informed his mother that he had seen a Good Samaritan who promised to assist him join the police service.<\/p>\n

He said Oti took Agyekum to the house to meet his mother at Effiduase, a suburb of Koforidua and succeeded in collecting GH\u00a2 200.00 from her.<\/p>\n

He said a week later, Agyekum called and informed Oti that he had been successfully enlisted into the Police Service and upon that false information collected GH\u00a2300.00 from him.<\/p>\n

The prosecutor said after taking the money, Agyekum asked Oti if he would prefer training in Ho or Kumasi.<\/p>\n

Inspector Adzadza said Agyekum later went into hiding and all efforts to trace him proved futile.<\/p>\n

He said Oti then informed his mother about the attitude of Agyekum and later reported the case to the police.<\/p>\n

The prosecutor said on June 3, 2011 Oti saw Agyekum in town and raised the alarm and he was arrested and handed over to the police.<\/p>\n

Inspector Adzadza said Agyekum admitted the offence in his caution statement and was charged with the offence.<\/p>\n
