A woman believed to be a staff member at the Tema Port, identified as Faustina Ameyaw, is currently being hunted down by a group of businessmen in Kumasi for allegedly defrauding them.
According to the group, Faustina Ameyaw, who claimed to be an agent at the Tema Port, made them pay an amount of GHS110,000 under the pretext of clearing their goods for them.
Mr. Abdul Mumin Adam, who claims to be a victim, told newsmen that some of the goods that were supposed to be cleared and have been paid for include Japanese bicycles and cars.
Narrating their sad ordeal, Abdul Mumin Adam said the woman has since blocked them and gone into hiding, thus after they had paid the said amount.
According to Abdul, Faustina, after receiving the money, kept postponing meeting dates before eventually refusing to pick up their calls.
“She started postponing the dates right after the money was sent to her. Later, she started avoiding our calls and subsequently went into hiding. We never knew she had run away until someone gave us a tip-off”, he revealed.
Meanwhile, he said, most of his colleagues in their quest to clear the goods, went for loans.
“Some of us are on the verge of death after she defrauded us under the pretext of clearing our goods at the port. We’re pleading with the general public to help the police get her arrested so that we can get our money back”.
Information gathered by myrepubliconline.com revealed that the case has been reported to the Manhyia Police who are working on arresting Madam Faustina Ameyaw.
The victims are, however, pleading with the general public to assist the police with any information they have about the woman.
