From Moses Dotsey Aklorbortu, Axim
A self-styled businesswoman who allegedly defrauded 12 unsuspecting traders in the sum of GH¢295,000 has been arrested.
According to the police, Maame Adwoa Sabaah managed to collect hundreds of bags of sugar, rice and flour from unsuspecting dealers on the pretext of supplying them to her customers and paying for them in a day or two.
The police said after gaining their confidence and collecting the stuff from the shops, the suspect never returned to pay for the goods.
Asked what she used the consignment for, Sabaah told the police that she reduced the prices and offloaded the items and moved on to other traders in different locations for more supplies.
Her luck ran out at Kasoa in the Central Region, when one of her victims she duped at Axim identified her on the verge of loading another consignment from the shop of an unsuspecting customer and raised alarm.
She was then arrested and handed over to the police.
She was later transferred to the Axim District Police Command, where it was established that many people had lodged complaints about her activities.
