Woman Remanded Over GH¢560,000 Fraud Case
The Atasomanso Circuit Court in Kumasi has remanded 38-year-old Priscilla Koduah, also known as Maame Kraa, into police custody for allegedly defrauding a Senior High School headmistress of GH¢560,000.
Koduah, a former employee of Newmont Ghana Gold Limited who is now unemployed, is accused of convincing the complainant to pay the money for three auctioned vehicles and a travel visa — deals that prosecutors say never materialised.
During Tuesday’s hearing, Apostle Chief Inspector Benjamin Moore Ankrah told the court that conflicting addresses given by the accused and her lawyer had slowed down investigations. He requested a one-week remand to finalise the case, which Presiding Judge His Worship Kwaku Baa Frimpong granted.
The judge also rejected a bail application from the defence, siding with the prosecution’s claim that more alleged victims are coming forward and that releasing Koduah could obstruct investigations.
The case has been adjourned to Wednesday, August 20, 2025, with the prosecution ordered to file disclosures within a week.
Investigations by this platform reveal that Koduah is facing similar charges at the Tafo Circuit Court over separate fraud cases totalling almost GH¢4 million. She allegedly operates with an accomplice, Nana Yaw Stocks, who is accused of posing as a National Security operative and as Koduah’s uncle to win victims’ trust.
