Due to their deception of people desiring to join the Ghanaian Armed Forces, two pals have been sentenced to 32 months in prison.
The two were punished by the Twedie region court in the Ashanti Region’s Atwima Kwanwoma region.
According to reports, Foster Gyimah, 30, and Richard Boateng, 22, scammed a guy out of approximately GH 50,000 while pretending to recruit individuals for the Ghanaian army.
They entered a not-guilty plea to the charges, but after four witnesses testified against them, they were found guilty.
Aย victimย whoย isย aย businessmanย wasย approachedย byย Gyimah,ย whoย introducedย himselfย asย anย armyย captainย andย statedย heย wasย willingย toย assistย sevenย peopleย inย enlisting.
