A 28-year-old man, Alhassan Sayibu, has been sentenced to five years in prison for defrauding a woman of GH\u20b55,000 and for sexual assault in a case involving a fake money-doubling scheme.<\/p>\n
Sayibu, a motor fitter from Yendi in the Northern Region, was found guilty of defrauding Tabal-Tuo Vida, a hairdresser from Damongo in the Savannah Region.<\/p>\n
The court heard that Sayibu had posted a video on Facebook claiming he could double the money, which caught Vida\u2019s attention.<\/p>\n
After Vida contacted Sayibu, he convinced her to send GH\u20b52,000 for \u201cherbs\u201d to begin the money-doubling ritual.<\/p>\n
Sayibu then instructed her to visit Yendi, where he introduced her to an accomplice, presented as a \u201cgodfather\u201d who would perform the ritual. They asked for more money and allegedly coerced her into sexual relations as part of the \u201cprocess.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sayibu later handed Vida a parcel, instructing her not to open it until further directions. Upon returning to Damongo and eventually opening the parcel, she discovered it was filled with lotto papers.<\/p>\n
Vida subsequently reported the incident to police, leading to Sayibu\u2019s arrest.<\/p>\n
In Yendi Circuit Court, presided over by His Honour Ebenezer Kweku Ansah, Sayibu pleaded guilty and received a five-year sentence with hard labour.<\/p>\n
In a separate case in the same court, Alhassan Osman, a car conductor, was sentenced to one year in prison for escaping police custody.<\/p>\n
He had previously been detained and escaped while out for work duty but was later recaptured in Bimbilla.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
