A currency trader named Sidik has been brought before an Accra Circuit Court for allegedly misappropriating funds from three traders. The prosecution stated that Sidik collected sums of $1,000, $13,000, and 800,000 Naira from complainants Wango Abdul Karim, Twaficatu Alhassan, and Rakia Urman.
Sidik reportedly told them he would transfer the money to Abidjan and Nigeria through a friend’s bank account, claiming this would protect the funds during their business trips. However, after collecting the money, Sidik allegedly went into hiding and failed to deliver on his promises.
