The Circuit Court in Accra has granted bail to Anthony Appiah, a 44-year-old businessman, in the sum of GH¢500,000 with two sureties, over allegations of defrauding a businesswoman of GH¢480,000 through a false pretence. Appiah is accused of falsely claiming to have secured a distributorship contract with BEL-AQUA, convincing the complainant to transfer the money, which he allegedly never refunded.
The prosecution presented evidence that BEL-AQUA had neither awarded nor entered into any business arrangement with Appiah, and that the complainant's efforts to recover her money were unsuccessful. The case has been adjourned until October 20, 2026.
