An Accra Circuit Court has remanded Bilyaminu Ibrahim and Mohammed Musah, a journalist, into police custody for their alleged involvement in a GH¢800,000 fraud scheme. According to prosecutors, the alleged victims are a Ghanaian resident in the United States named Tourwana Katakarauo and her mother. The case alleges that Ibrahim posed as a spiritualist and collected the money from Tourwana under the pretext of averting spiritual attacks.

Ibrahim allegedly conspired with Musah to commit the crime of defrauding by false pretence and harboured Musah, who is accused of not reporting Ibrahim's arrest to the police to avoid his apprehension.
