Trader remanded over ¢147k GIS recruitment scam

An Adentan Circuit Court remanded the guy for collecting GH 147,000 under the guise of hiring 27 people for the Ghana Immigration Service (GIS), which did not work out.

Naomi Larweh Teiko has entered a not-guilty plea to the charge of defrauding under false pretenses.


On April 21, Naomi is scheduled to show up before the court presided over by Mrs. Sedinam Awo Balokah.

Inspector Eric Ransford Abban, who was in charge of the prosecution, described the complainant Hajia Habiba Abdulai as a businesswoman who lived in Adenta, Accra.

It stated that Naomi lived in Adenta as well.

In May 2022, Naomi allegedly approached the complainant claiming she had an Immigration Officer, who wanted to assist in recruiting some people into the Ghana Immigration Service (GIS).

The prosecution said the complainant developed an interest and collected various sums of money totalling GH¢121,000 from 25 family members.

It said the complainant also paid an additional GH¢26,000 for her two daughters.

The prosecution said the complainant handed over all the monies collected totalling GH¢147,000 to the accused.

It said the accused person, after collecting the money, assured the complainant that the 27 persons would be going for training after they had been medically screened.

The prosecution said the accused person, however, went into hiding thereafter and the matter was reported to the Police.

It said Naomi was picked up and in her investigation caution statement admitted the offence and indicated that she had handed over the money to one Owusu, an Immigration Officer.

The prosecution said Naomi, however, refused to lead the Police to Owusu.
