The New Patriotic Party’s parliamentary candidate for Twifo Ati-Morkwa Constituency, Ebenezer Dwamena, and two others have been remanded in custody by the Assin Kyekyerwere Circuit Court.
The trio faces charges of conspiracy to defraud and false pretenses, related to allegations that they failed to deliver a vehicle to a businessman in Twifo Praso after receiving payment exceeding Gh¢300,000.00.
The court, presided over by Her Ladyship Sophia Priscila Yeboah, remanded the accused persons to allow the police to forward the case docket to the Attorney-General’s Office for advice. The defense team had raised concerns about the circuit court’s jurisdiction, citing the significant amount involved in the alleged fraud.
The case has sparked interest in the region, with many following the developments closely.
The remand is seen as a temporary measure to allow for further investigation and guidance from the Attorney-General’s Office before the case proceeds.
