In a recent development at the Assin Kyekyewere District Court, the New Patriotic Party’s Parliamentary candidate for the Twifo Atti-Morkwa constituency, Ebenezer Dwamena, has been remanded into police custody. Dwamena is facing charges related to conspiracy to defraud by pretence and false pretence, as outlined in section 131 of the Criminal and Other Offences Act 1960 Act 29.
The allegations against Dwamena stem from his involvement in a transaction where he introduced friends to a car dealer after purchasing a vehicle for himself. Subsequently, the car dealer reportedly received payment but failed to deliver the vehicle to the buyers, leading to a legal dispute that culminated in Dwamena’s remand.
During the court proceedings overseen by Her Ladyship Sophia Priscila Yeboa Esq., the decision was made to detain Dwamena in police custody pending further investigations. The case has now been referred to the Attorney General’s Office for guidance and possible legal action.
In response to these allegations, the NPP’s communication officer in Twifo Praso, Paa Amoako, clarified that Dwamena’s involvement was solely in facilitating the purchase of a car for personal use by his friends. Amoako explained that after encountering difficulties in obtaining the vehicle from the seller, Dwamena took proactive steps by having the seller arrested. However, despite these efforts, the buyers remained without the car.
The situation escalated when the case was transferred from the Praso Magistrate Court to Fosu due to the significant monetary value involved. Recent court proceedings saw all three individuals—Ebenezer Dwamena and the two other car buyers—being remanded for a two-week period to allow for thorough investigations before the case can proceed.
The unfolding events have brought attention to the legal complexities surrounding the case, with stakeholders closely monitoring the progress as it unfolds. The outcome of the investigations and subsequent legal actions will likely shape the future course of this controversy, impacting both the individuals involved and the broader political landscape in the region.
