The
\nGeneral Overseer of Liberty Vineyard International Ministries, Rev. Edward
\nBuabeng, and two others have appeared before an Accra Circuit Court for
\nallegedly defrauding over 100 people of various sums of money totalling over
\nGH\u00a22 million.<\/p>\n

The
\n48-year-old pastor and his two accomplices, Wilfred Brown, a 55-year-old
\naccountant, and one Aubrey des Bordes Mends, a 48-year-old businessman, are
\nalleged to have lured their victims into investing various sums of money in
\ntheir company \u2013 Career Link Markets Company Limited.<\/p>\n

They
\nare said to have promised their clients 40 per cent interest on all investment
\nbut failed to fulfill their promises.<\/p>\n

Rev.
\nBuabeng and his accomplices are facing a total of 173 counts of conspiracy and
\ndefrauding by false pretences.<\/p>\n

He
\nand Wilfred Brown who were in court pleaded not guilty to all the charges and
\nthe court presided over by Harriet Akweley Quaye granted them bail of
\nGH\u00a2700,000, with three sureties each. The court issued a bench warrant for the
\narrest of Aubrey des Bordes Mends whose is at large.<\/p>\n

According
\nto the prosecution, the complainants, including Joseph Osei-Safo Kumi and his
\nwife Brenda Adolphine Appia, in July 2018 invested $7,000 and $6,000
\nrespectively in the company which was to accrue 40 per cent interest.<\/p>\n

It
\nsaid the investment had matured in October 2018 but the three accused persons
\nfailed to pay both the interest on the investment, as well as the principal
\namount and went into hiding.<\/p>\n

The
\ncomplainants later reported the matter to the Dansoman police in Accra and
\nother customers numbering over 100 subsequently came out to lodge similar
\ncomplaints saying they had invested various sums of money totalling
\nGH\u00a21,193,136 and $185,408 in the company.<\/p>\n

The
\nthree accused persons were subsequently arrested and they were said to have
\nadmitted the offence in their caution statements and promised to refund the
\nmonies but failed to do so.<\/p>\n

According
\nto the facts, investigations show that the company was registered at the
\nRegistrar General\u2019s Department but has not been licensed by the Security and
\nExchanges Commission to undertake such a business.<\/p>\n

It
\nadded that the accused persons during investigations brought an amount of
\nGH\u00a2115,000 and it was disbursed to the first-two complainants and six others.<\/p>\n

Hearing
\ncontinues on September 10.<\/p>\n
