A 38-year-old Nigerian, Dennis Ndukwu has been
arrested by the police in Osu, a district in central
Accra, Ghana for allegedly forging signatures of
some top government officials.
Dennis forged signatures of Ghana’s Chief of
Staff, Julius Debrah, Finance Minister, Seth
Terkper and other top government staffs, to
defraud a foreign investor to the tune of 150,000
dollars.
Police uncovered activities of Dennis and his
gang’s fraudulent operations in June this year
after they tired to withdraw a huge amount of
money from the investor’s account. The police
said Dennis and his gang, through internet
hacking, got to know about challenges being
faced by the victim, a Vietnamese investor who
had invested over 8.5 million dollars in Ghana.
Dennis allegedly introduced himself to the
investor, Le Van Khiem, as the secretary to the
chief of staff, Julius Debrah, and revealed that he
can use the high office to assist him.
Various documents purportedly signed by the
chief of staff and the finance minister Seth
Terkper were produced and this convinced the
victim to give his personal items including his
visa card and code to Dennis and his gang to
enable them withdraw $100,000 from his account
to aid the process.
