An Accra Circuit Court has arraigned a couple for allegedly defrauding a public servant of GH\u00a236,000 under the pretext of renting out an apartment.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Salomey Vedomey, a trader, and Nana Obeng Tandoh, a businessman, are accused of collecting the amount on July 7, 2025, claiming to rent out their chamber and hall apartment at Dzorwulu, Accra.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

They have been charged with conspiracy to commit crime and defrauding by false pretences.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Both pleaded not guilty before the court presided over by Mrs Susana Eduful.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

The court granted each accused person bail in the sum of GH\u00a250,000 with two sureties, to be justified with title deed documents deposited at the court registry.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

The prosecution was directed to file disclosures, and the case was adjourned to December 2, 2025, for the Case Management Conference.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

The complainant, a public servant residing in Dansoman, sought accommodation through an agent who introduced her to Salomey at the Dzorwulu apartment.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Salomey claimed ownership of the apartment with her husband and offered it for rent at GH\u00a21,500 per month, requesting a two-year advance.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

She assured the complainant that minor works would be completed within two weeks.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

On July 7, 2025, the complainant and her father met the couple at the apartment, where Salomey introduced Tandoh as her husband; both sat in the complainant\u2019s car, received GH\u00a236,000, and issued a receipt signed by Tandoh.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Two weeks later, Salomey allegedly gave excuses and later claimed Tandoh had absconded with the money.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

A police report was subsequently filed, leading to their arrest.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

While Salomey denied the offence, Tandoh admitted it.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Investigations revealed that the couple had collected money from multiple individuals for the same apartment.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
