According to him, a friend came to him that his mother was ill and needed money for her immediate treatment so he gave the money to him because he promised of returning the money later that evening but he failed to do so.

He further explained that because he had not heard from the friend he decided to disappear.

The trial judge, Gabriel Matey-Teye, sentenced Kweku to four months in jail and asked him to refund the sum by August 31, 2018. In default, he would attract an additional four months.
