Inkoom has also been directed to deposit a passport-sized photograph with the court registry, myjoyonline.com reports.  <\/p>\n<p>According to reports by Police Chief Inspector Tetteh Boafo, Madam Awuni, an entrepreneur, and Madam Abigail Owusu, a public servant, both residents of Oyarifa in Accra, accused Inkoom of defaulting on their agreement for him to obtain U.S. and Canadian visas for them within six weeks for $4,000 in December 2023.  <\/p>\n<p>However, after Inkoom failed to deliver the visas within the promised six-to-eight-week period, the women suspected foul play and reported the matter to the police.  <\/p>\n<p>While Inkoom admitted to receiving the money, he claimed to have forwarded it to a partner in the United States to facilitate the visa process. Police investigations, however, revealed that Inkoom had no such partner in the United States.  <\/p>\n<p>An amount of $2,000 has since been retrieved from Inkoom and returned to Madam Awuni. The police subsequently charged Inkoom and brought him before the court. With the case still ongoing, Inkoom is expected to reappear in court on January 22, 2025.  <\/p>\n<p>FKA\/BB<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Samuel Inkoom, former defender for the Black Stars Former Ghana defender Samuel Inkoom has been granted bail of GH\u00a2100,000 with two sureties by a court in Accra over allegations of visa fraud.
