Accra Circuit Court remanded Bilyaminu Ibrahim, a media worker, and Mohammed Musah, a journalist, over allegations of a GH¢800,000 fraud. The accused are accused of conspiracy to commit crime, specifically defrauding by false pretence and harbouring a criminal. The complainant, Tourwana Katakarauo, an alleged victim, lives in the United States.
In 2021, an accomplice named Jabiru allegedly approached Fawuziya Issaka, Tourwana's younger sister, and convinced her that a spiritualist could help her. Ibrahim allegedly posed as the spiritualist and collected around GH¢800,000 from Tourwana, claiming it was needed for spiritual activities to avert attacks. The prosecution alleges that the money was used for sacrifices, spiritual activities, and payments for Quran recitals.
Ibrahim later admitted to posing as a spiritualist, and GH¢49,000 was recovered from him. Jabiru fled to Togo after Ibrahim's arrest but returned to Ghana in September 2026 and stayed with Ibrahim and Musah.
