  "account": "Two men have been remanded in custody by an Accra Circuit Court in connection with a fraud case involving GH¢800,000. Bilyaminu Ibrahim, a media worker, and Mohammed Musah, a journalist, are alleged to have conspired to defraud a complainant in the United States by pretending to be spiritualists. Prosecutors say the pair collected the money under the pretext of performing spiritual rituals to avert attacks against the complainant and her family. Ibrahim allegedly admitted to posing as a spiritualist, while the police recovered GH¢49,000 from him. Musah is accused of harboring a criminal and denied the charge. Jabiru, Ibrahim's alleged accomplice, fled to Togo after the arrest but returned to Ghana in September 2026. Ibrahim and Musah are scheduled to appear in court again on October 20, 2026.",
