MEDIA WORKER, JOURNALIST REMANDED OVER ALLEGED GH¢800,000 FRAUD TARGETING U.S.-BASED GHANAIAN

An Accra Circuit Court has remanded Bilyaminu Ibrahim, 28, a media worker, and Mohammed Musah, 25, a journalist, until October 20 over a case involving an alleged GH¢800,000 spiritual-fraud scheme targeting U.S.-based Ghanaian Tourwana Katakarauo. Prosecutors allege that Ibrahim posed as a spiritualist with fugitive suspect Katakaraou Jabiru and received repeated payments for purported sacrifices, Quran recitations and protection against spiritual attacks. Police say GH¢49,000 was recovered from Ibrahim. Musah is accused separately of warning Jabiru not to return home when police attempted to arrest him and faces a harbouring charge. Jabiru remains at large. The accused deny wrongdoing, and the allegations have not been proven in court.
