- The court charged Ogunba with defrauding by false pretence and criminal breach of trust
A Nigerian businessman, Adesolape Funmise Ogunba, has been detained by an Accra Circuit Court for allegedly defrauding fellow Nigerian Ndiomyi Bassey of $130,000.
Ogunba, 40, is accused of receiving the amount under the pretext of selling a Richard Mille wristwatch but failing to deliver the product.
The court charged Ogunba with defrauding by false pretence and criminal breach of trust. He pleaded not guilty.
According to the prosecution, Ogunba and Bassey, both businessmen, had agreed to conduct business together while Ogunba was living in Dubai.
Bassey transferred the money, but Ogunba failed to deliver the promised watch and ceased communication. Following an INTERPOL investigation, Ogunba was arrested.
The case has been adjourned, and Ogunba remains in police custody.
