A BURKINABE soothsayer has been arrested for paying a prostitute with fake currency after her overnight services in his hotel in the Twin-City of Sekondi/Takoradi.
The prostitute after an overnight encounter with the suspect, Sheriff Osuman, 46, got home only to realise that the money his client used in paying her were fake Ghana cedi notes.
She quickly ran to report at the Rapid Deployment Force Unit of the Ghana Police Service in Takoradi and led them to the hotel where the suspect was lodging and was arrested.
Interestingly, the suspect, who told the police he was a soothsayer endowed with the possibilities of seeing into the future, was not able to tell when the police were heading to his hotel.
After his arrest, the police found on him a lot of fake local currency notes and thousands of fake United States dollars.
According to a police source, the woman told the police that, she met the man the previous night, and after a few drinks and negotiations they moved into a hotel in Takoradi.
According to the police the woman reported the man to the police because he failed to keep to his side of the agreement.
“I am happy he has been arrested, at least if not for my money, for the fact that he planned cheating on me,” she said.
According to the source, the man after the act paid the agreed amount and she left for the house but upon reaching home, she realised that the money were fake notes.
She then moved quickly to the police and reported him before he escaped.
According to the source, the suspect, travelling through Ghana to Cote d’Ivoire, decided to pass the night in Takoradi.
The source said apart from the fake currency found on him, there were other items such as talisman and other items that he used for his soothsaying business.
He is currently in police custody pending further investigations.
