Michael Sumnaya Adedina, an accountant with Medeena Consult Limited, has been remanded again by an Accra Circuit Court for allegedly creating fake Ghana Revenue Authority receipts, resulting in a tax evasion of GHC2,495,778. His legal team’s bail application after his initial remand on January 4, 2024, was met with an adjournment by the court, presided over by Mrs. Afia Owusuaa Appiah, to January 25, 2024, to allow the state to respond to the bail motion.
Adedina faces multiple charges, including unauthorized tax collection, document forgery, theft, and fraudulent breach of trust, all of which he denies. Despite this, the court has already dismissed two charges on January 4, 2024, for lack of support. The case was brought to the court’s attention by the Country Manager of BMG Infrastructure Company Limited, with DSP Evans Kesse leading the prosecution narrative.

The court learned that Adedina had been contracted by BMG Infrastructure Company to manage all accounting tasks, including tax and social security affairs for the company’s employees. This foreign-owned mining waste processing company, established in Tarkwa since 2021 and registered with GIPC, entrusted Adedina with significant financial responsibilities, which he is now accused of having grossly abused.
