An electrician, Abdul Ganiw Adam, appeared before an Accra Circuit Court and was remanded into custody after being accused of defrauding a man of GH¢26,000 through a fraudulent breach of trust. Adam pleaded not guilty to the charge and is set to appear in court again on October 16, 2026. Yaw Senjina, the alleged victim, and Adam are both from Banda in the Volta Region.
In December 2024, Senjina's brother, Rauf, introduced the accused to Ganiw, who lived in Accra. Senjina met Ganiw and gave him GH¢10,000, with plans to transfer the remaining funds. In April 2025, Senjina sent another GH¢16,000, but the accused suggested purchasing a tractor instead of the Mercedes-Benz bus, which Senjina accepted.
After Senjina returned to his village, he demanded a refund in June 2025, but the accused allegedly did not pay him. Senjina later reported the incident to the police, leading to Ganiw's arrest. Adam admitted to the offense in his caution statement and refunded GH¢13,500 to the complainant.
