A 35-year-old nurse has been granted GH¢100,000.00 bail with two sureties by the Asante Akropong District Court in the Atwima Nwabiagya North District for defrauding her colleague in Kumasi-Tafo. Esther Asamoah Dufie pleaded not guilty to the charge of defrauding by false pretence and will reappear before the court, presided by Mr Emmanuel Wiafe Adu, on November 27, this year.
Police Detective, Inspector Alexander Agbekpornu, presenting the facts of the case to the court, said the complainant, Ruth Afia Antwiwaa, and Dufie were colleagues in the same health facility and resided at Tafo and Ohwimase respectively.
He disclosed that in January 2025, Dufie advertised a travelling opportunity for people interested in traveling to the United Kingdom (UK) on her WhatsApp status, and the complainant saw it and showed interest. The complainant, therefore, contacted the accused person, and she told her that the slot was from her brother, one Richard Kwame Asamoah, a military officer in the United Kingdom.
According to the Prosecution, the complainant also informed one Alexander Aboagye, her friend’s husband, about the traveling opportunity and he also showed interest. They paid an amount of GH¢54,090.00 into a Cal Bank account number the accused person provided.
After the payment, the accused person promised to bring the dependent from the UK in April 2025 for the visa process but failed, so the complainant demanded a refund of the money. Prosecution explained that all efforts to retrieve the money proved futile, so on September 16, 2025, the complainant reported to the Abuakwa Police and Dufie was arrested.
In her caution statement, Dufie admitted and pleaded for time to refund the money by October 10, 2025, and was granted police enquiry bail, but she jumped and went into hiding until October 27, when she was rearrested at Tafo.

Let’s pray fervently to prevent any looming disaster– Rt. Rev. Dr Mrs Grace Frimpong-Boateng

A Prophet and General Overseer of Jesus Prayer Ministry at Ejisu Asuasi, Kumasi, and Pig Farm, Accra, Rt. Rev. Dr Mrs Grace Frimpong-Boateng, has urged Ghanaians to pray fervently to avert any disaster that would endanger many.
“God hears prayers, and intercessory prayers will provide your family safety and protection so you can live long and enjoy life in this world,” she added.
Rt. Rev. Dr Mrs Frimpong-Boateng was speaking with The Spectator in an interview last week.
According to her, she had a revelation that there would be a tragedy that will harm many people, however, effective prayers can avert it.
She said that the Ghana Meteorological Agency (GMet) predicted another heavy downpour from Thursday to Sunday following the recent torrential rain that devastated Accra and other areas. However, strong intercessory prayers prevented the prediction, which would have been catastrophic.
She claims that whenever she shares something that God has revealed to her, she does not receive widespread support from people to join her in effective intercession.
As a result, she has urged everyone including members of parliament, cabinet ministers, traditional authorities, religious leaders, and other citizens to exercise caution and pray fervently in order to avoid premature death.
According to Rt. Rev. Dr Mrs Frimpong-Boateng the recent downpour in Accra which claimed lives and destroyed property was unusual.
“The sea was irritated because of certain rituals performed and caused it to spew forth, exposing the dirt.” There are still some rites in the sea, and they will definitely surface,” she disclosed.
“Let’s pray that God would burn and destroy the things that have contaminated the sea,” she indicated.

Mason convicted for stealing 4-yr-old boy

The Adentan Circuit Court has convicted a mason for stealing a four-year-old boy from Kpedze in the Volta Region and bringing him to Accra.
David Kpandoyo, 25, a Togolese national, pleaded guilty to a charge of child stealing.
The court, presided over by Mrs Angela Attachie, convicted him on his own plea and adjourned sentencing to July 14, 2026.
Kpandoyo told the court that he had gone to a drinking spot to consume alcohol when the child approached him.
He said he gave the boy some money, took him home, and could not remember what happened afterwards because he was intoxicated.
Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Patience Mario, assisted by Chief Inspector Jacob Nyarko, led the prosecution.
The prosecution said the complainant, Mr Bismark Gbago, is a 52-year-old painter residing at New Legon in Accra.
The victim’s mother, Ms Patience Ablordefey Afefa, is a 25-year-old hairdresser living at Kpedze in the Volta Region with the victim, a Kindergarten One pupil.
The prosecution said Kpandoyo also resided at New Legon, where he worked as a mason.
It said the victim went missing at Kpedze on July 1, 2026, at about 18:00 hours.
On July 3, at about 6:30pm, the complainant reported to the New Legon Police that he had found the four-year-old boy wandering around the area and that the child was unable to identify his home.
The prosecution said that on July 4, at about 4 p.m., the complainant informed the Police that after announcements were made within the community, Kpandoyo came forward claiming that the boy was his son.
The complainant and Kpandoyo subsequently went to the police Station to identify the child.
However, Kpandoyo was unable to produce the child’s birth certificate or lead the Police to the child’s mother.
Later that day, the police received a flyer bearing the name and telephone numbers of the victim’s mother, together with the child’s photograph, indicating that he had gone missing from Kpedze.
The police contacted the victim’s mother and asked her to report to the New Legon Police Station with the child’s birth certificate and weighing card because another person was claiming to be the child’s parent.
On July 6, the victim’s mother and her relatives reported to the Police Station and stated that they did not know Kpandoyo.
During investigations, Kpandoyo admitted in his cautioned statement that the victim was not his child.
He further confessed that while working at Kpedze, he stole the boy and brought him to Accra. –GNA
