My husband wanted quick money so he used my son for 'sika duro'- Ghanaian mom reveals

 - Single mother of three, Rita Tetteh Korkor, has recounted how her husband used their son for money ritual 

- She revealed their son fell seriously ill as a result, so she reported the situation to her family

 - According to Tetteh Korkor, her husband told her he wanted quick money.

Rita Tetteh Korkor, a single mother of three kids, has given a chilling account of how her husband used their first child for money rituals known as 'sakawa.' In an interview with DJ Nyaami of SVTV Africa, Tetteh Korkor disclosed her husband told her about his plan to go in for money rituals but she vehemently advised against it. According to her, she stood against it because she knew the ritual would demand a human sacrifice and she did not want any part of it.

''He came home with an item, hanged it in the room, and warned us not to touch it,'' she said. Subsequently, their son fell seriously ill and she came to realise the ritual was the cause. Fearing for the outcome of the unknown, Tetter Korkor left their home. ''When my son fell ill, I realised he used my son for the money ritual. So I told my parents about it, and sought help for my son.'' For being a protective mother, her husband labeled her a witch for disrupting the ritual process. Tetter Korkor revealed that her husband was not supposed to inform anyone about his dealings, else, the money ritual would not yield results.

Six Ghanaians arrested in America for laundering more than $50 million in cyber fruad

- Six Ghanaians have been arrested in the United States of America for their involvement in cyber fraud

 - The six have been charged for laundering more than $50 million

 - They were arrested in different states at different times

Six Ghanaians have been arrested in the United States of America for their involvement in cyber fraud. The six; Farouk Appiedu, Fred Asante, Celvin Freeman, Lord Aning, Sadick Edusei Kissi, and Faisal Ali have been charged for laundering more than $50 million. The Federal Bureau of Investigation,(FBI) says four of the accused had between them controlled more than 45 bank accounts in which more than $50 million had been deposited.

The $50 million had been deposited between 2013 and 2020. According to a report sighted by BISA.com.gh, the six were arrested in different states at different times. Freeman and Ali were arrested in New Jersey, Asante and Aning arrested in Virginia, Appiedu was arrested in Queens, while Kissi was arrested in Fargo, North Dakota.

Audrey Strauss, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, and a host of others announced the arrests of the six for charges in connection with their roles in a fraud and money laundering conspiracy based in Ghana involving the theft of tens of millions of dollars. The crimes perpetrated by the Enterprise consisted of frauds, business email compromises, romance scams, and fraud schemes related to the novel coronavirus/COVID-19 pandemic. The court document added that the objective of the Enterprise’s fraud scheme was to trick and deceive businesses into wiring funds into accounts they controlled. This was easier as members of the Enterprise created slight variations of email accounts used by employees of a victim company or third parties engaged in business with a company to impersonate them. A vast majority of the deposits consisted of large wire transfers and cheque or cash deposits from various US-based individuals and entities, the statement added.

Too bad for Mahama, Tsatsu Tsikata didn't anticipate our strategy> Akoto Ampaw

~ The First and second respondents in the election petition trial have said they would not call any witnesses 

- According to them, the petitioner’s case was not proven beyond reasonable doubt 

- But, veteran legal luminary, Tsatsu Tsikata, objected to the move and applied to reopen his case.

Akoto Ampaw on Monday, February 15, 2021, told the Supreme Court that had lawyers for John Mahama “thought through fully” the case of the respondents, they would have anticipated they would not call witnesses. He made the remarks when he was arguing against the application the former president filed through his lawyers to reopen his case.

Tsatsu Tsikata, the lead counsel for Mahama in the ongoing 2020 election petition trial informed the court on Thursday, February 12, 2021, that he wished to reopen the former president’s case to subpoena the chairperson of the Electoral Commission (EC) Jean Mensa into the witness box for cross-examination.

“If they had thought through fully the case of the respondents, they would have known that this was very likely to happen because right from the beginning of filing our answers, we had served notice to them and the court that we think that they didn’t have any case for us to be even heard,” Ampaw stated. “So, they must have had notice that it was likely if they fail to lead sufficient evidence that we would not adduce any evidence and consistent with our original and primary position, we would ask the court to determine the matter on the evidence before it,” he added.

According to him, the truth of what transpired in the Electoral Commission’s (EC) Strong Room was essential to the case, and “that is what we want Jean Mensa to come and testify.” "She gave glory and honour to God after her declaration on 9th December 2020. My Lords, the chairperson [Jean Mensah] should come out to testify and to honour the God she claimed she serves," Tsikata told the court when he was a presentation to the court his application to reopen the former president’s case.
