In a surprising turn of events at the Accra High Court, a 36-year-old lawyer, Madam Ekua Ofori, finds herself on the wrong side of the law, facing charges of document forgery and perjury. Accused of submitting a fraudulent affidavit and forging company regulations for GFX Company Limited, her actions were allegedly intended to mislead the court and secure a legal victory. Despite the serious nature of the charges, Madam Ofori has maintained her innocence, pleading not guilty to the accusations.
The court, presided over by Mr. Samuel Bright Acquah, has set Madam Ofori’s bail at GH₵50,000.00, with the stipulation that she must produce three sureties who are Ghanaian citizens. The conditions of the bail require the sureties to be justified, reflecting the gravity of the charges. With the case garnering attention, proceedings have been paused, and the court awaits the next session scheduled for February 5, 2024.

Behind the legal drama is a personal story intertwined with professional fallout. The prosecution, led by Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Maxwell Oppong, reveals that the complainant, Mr. Joseph Anka, Managing Director of GFX Company Limited, and Madam Ofori were not just professional acquaintances but also former spouses. After Madam Ofori’s resignation as the company’s secretary, Mr. Anka discovered the alleged forgery, leading to a police investigation and a forensic confirmation of the deceit. This legal battle comes in the wake of their dissolved marriage, adding a layer of complexity to the unfolding narrative.
