Accra, July 5, GNA – An Accra Circuit Court
has granted bail in the sum of GH¢12,000.00 with three sureties one to be
justified to a drinking bar operator who allegedly posed as a national security
operative to defraud a trader of GH¢12,000.00 under the pretext of selling him
auctioned cars.

Nii Afadey will make his next appearance on
July 12.

He has pleaded not guilty to conspiracy and
defrauding by false pretense.

Nii Afadey’s accomplice Ransford Acquaye is
currently on the run.

Prosecuting, Police Superintendent Alex
Odonkor told the Court presided over by Madam Marian Affoh that Afadey operated
a drinking spot at Mamprobi, a suburb of Accra.

A witness in the case, a taxi driver, offered
his service to Afadey and his friend who then left their contacts with the
driver to promote their business as national security officers selling
auctioned cars.

On September 25, the driver and a friend to
Daniel Afriyie: the prosecution witness who are also traders in Accra told the
latter about Afadey and gave his number to Afriyie who had expressed interest
in buying an auctioned car.

Afriyie called Afadey and together with
Acquaye and a policeman they met Afriyie and the witness in a Land Cruiser
Prado with the registration number GM 3439-14 at Afrikiko near the Flagstaff
House.

After taking the money from Afriyie to supply
him with two Hyundai Atos cars, one for GH¢6,000, Afadey and Acquaye vanished
into thin air.

Afriyie and the witness went to the Flagstaff
House to look for them but they got to know there that they were not personnel
of the National Security.

Superintendent Odonkor said on December 2017,
Afadey was arrested by the Mamprobi Police for a similar offence and when
Afriyie was called he identified him as the one who took his money to supply
him cars.
