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.
