A Nigerian, Henritch Amafuel, was on Friday remanded by an Accra Circuit Court for defrauding one Francis Ayiku Otunfour of an amount of USD$ 90,000.00.<\/p>\n
Henritch was also charged with possession of counterfeit notes of USD$15,900.00 and two wraps of dried green plants seedlings suspected to be Indian hemp.<\/p>\n
He pleaded not guilty to all the charges, but was remanded by the Court presided over by Mr Aboagye Tandoh to reappear on December 22.<\/p>\n
Prosecuting Police Chief Inspector Kwabena Adu told the court that the complainant Francis, is a Businessman based in Accra, while the accused is a self-styled spiritualist, and Nigerian businessman resident in Accra.<\/p>\n
He said in November this year, at Kuntunse, Henritch introduced himself as a spiritual father through one Kofi Ohene Kyei, who is a friend of the complainant.<\/p>\n
He said the accused, after the introduction, told the complainant that he had foreseen a vision in which the complainant was about to get a financial breakthrough within one month and that he should withdraw all his bank savings and deposit same with him.<\/p>\n
The prosecution said Henritch also told the complainant, he would pray over it and within two weeks the money would double after the necessary spiritual purification rites.<\/p>\n
Mr Adu told the court that complainant became convinced and handed over an amount of USD$ 90,000.00 to the accused person to be doubled within two weeks.<\/p>\n
He said the accused failed to honour his promise after the period and kept giving the complainant excuses.<\/p>\n
On December 6, the complainant became alarmed and reported the case to the police, and led the police to Banoc hotel at Medie, where Henritch was arrested in his hotel room.<\/p>\n
According to the prosecution, a search conducted in his room revealed two wrapped green plant seedlings suspected to be Indian hemp, USD$ 15,900.00 suspected to be forged, one dead chameleon, two 6 and 7 books of Moses, eight candles and one trunk which he claimed he uses for his spiritual incarnation.<\/p>\n
