The Assin Kyekyewere District Court has remanded into police custody the Parliamentary candidate of the New Patriotic Party for the Twifo Atti-Morkwa constituency Ebenezer Dwamena.
The accused person faces charges of conspiracy to defraud by pretence and false pretence contrary to section 131 of the Criminal and Other Offences Act 1960 Act 29.
According to the constituency communication officer for the party in Twifo Atti-Morkwa, Dwamena introduced some friends to a car dealer after he successfully purchased a vehicle from them.
The car dealer after successfully transferring money into his account has failed to produce the vehicle forcing the buyers to drag the matter to court leading to the Parliamentary candidate being remanded.
The presiding judge, Her Ladyship Sophia Priscila Yeboa Esq. remanded the suspect into police custody while the matter has been forwarded to the Attorney General’s Office for advice.
