The couple, Gyamfi, a trader, and Appau, a miner, allegedly took the money from their landlady under the false promise of supplying gold but failed to deliver.

They face charges of conspiracy and fraud.

Despite being notified, Gyamfi and Appau missed their initial court date and were absent again on September 4, 2024.

This continued absence has kept the bench warrant in effect.

The case involves Doris Animah Tando, a Sakumono businesswoman who rented to the couple. In 2022, they reportedly took GH¢260,000 from Tando for gold that was never provided.

Gifty was arrested and claimed she received only GH¢60,000 from Tando, with the rest going to Appau.

Although Appau was repeatedly summoned by the police, he avoided attendance, offering a written commitment to repay the money by March 2024, which he did not honor.

The police are working to serve him with a criminal summons.
