The court asked that Inkoom appears before it on January 22, 2025.
Police Chief Inspector Tetteh Boafo, giving the facts, said Madam Awuni was an entrepreneur and resident of Oyarifa, Accra, as Madam Abigail Owusu, a public servant, also a resident of Oyarifa, Accra, and both were complainants in the case.
Inkoom, the accused person, is a retired footballer residing at Sekondi Takoradi in the Western Region.
She said in December 2023, the complainant Awuni met Inkoom at Achimota while scouting new young footballers and in the course of their conversion, Inkoom made a representation to the complainant that aside from his scouting job, he was also into travel and tour business.
Chief Inspector Boafo said Inkoom also told Madam Boafo that he could secure USA and Canadian visas for interested applicants to travel outside the country within six weeks at an affordable fee of $4,000.00.
Upon such representation, the complainant became convinced and parted with $4,000.00 for the accused to secure her client a United States of America visa, the Court heard.
She said that in the process, the other complainant Owusu also met Inkoom, and upon the same representation he made, she also showed interest and parted with $2,000.00 for Inkoom to secure her a United States of America visa.
Chief Inspector Boafo said Inkoom upon receiving the amounts in question, promised delivery within six to eight weeks, however, the scheduled date elapsed and he failed to honour his promise and went into hiding.
