Kingsley Ofosu, famously known as the lone survivor of the harrowing “Deadly Voyage” stowaway incident in 1992, has been taken into custody in connection with an alleged €120,000 scam, as reported by 3 News.com.
According to the information presented, Ofosu was apprehended at his concealed location in Prampram, within the Greater Accra Region, on Saturday, October 14, following nearly twenty-five years of persistent police endeavors. Subsequently, he was presented before the Takoradi Circuit Court B.
Inspector Robert Yawson, acting as the prosecutor, informed the court that Ofosu had been on the police’s wanted list since 1998, and thus, he requested his detention to facilitate the finalization of their investigative processes.
Narrating the events leading to the arrest, Charles Ohemeng, the aggrieved party, disclosed in a phone interview with Connect FM from Germany that in 1997, he had engaged in a business arrangement with Ofosu, centered on the transport of vehicles and printing machinery, amounting to €120,000. Unfortunately, contact with Ofosu was lost until his recent apprehension.
Kingsley Ofosu’s compelling narrative initially gained global prominence when he miraculously survived a life-threatening assault on a group of African stowaways in 1992. His remarkable saga was eventually adapted into the feature film “Deadly Voyage,” which featured a distinguished ensemble of actors and was distributed by HBO and the BBC.
