A 22-year-old woman who swindled a driver of his GH\u00a25,500.00 under the pretext of securing for him a United Kingdom (UK) visa has been sentenced by a Kumasi Circuit Court to a fine GH\u00a21,500.00.<\/p>\n

Additionally, Erica Ofori was ordered to refund the money collected from the victim or serve a three-year jail term in hard labour.<\/p>\n

This was after she had pleaded guilty to the crime.
Police Chief Inspector Isaac Mensah-Apenten told the court, presided over by Justice William Boampong, that the complainant, Kwaku Fosu, lives at Oforikrom, in Kumasi.<\/p>\n

Erica returned to the country, last year, after having stayed in the UK for some time and was introduced to the complainant by one Akua Asieduwaa, a friend at Asante-Juaben.
She told Fosu that she was looking for people to accompany her to the UK to perform the funeral of her deceased father, who lived in that country.<\/p>\n

The complainant became interested and Erica demanded that he paid GH\u00a25,500.00 to enable her to secure a travel visa for him, which he did.<\/p>\n

Police Chief Inspector Mensah-Apenten said the lady went into hiding after collecting the money and was arrested at Asante-Mampong in April this year following a tip off.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
