A 28-year-old unemployed man, Vincent Apetor, has been remanded into lawful custody by an Accra Circuit Court after pleading guilty to fraudulently spending GH¢114,000 that had been entrusted to him for travel arrangements.
According to court proceedings, the money was deposited into his bank account by his former partner to strengthen their visa application for a planned trip to the Netherlands. However, investigators say Apetor secretly obtained an ATM card linked to the account and withdrew the entire amount without the knowledge of his ex-partner.
When the complainant later requested the money, she discovered it had all been spent.
The case was reported to the police, leading to Apetor's arrest.
During investigations, Apetor admitted that he had spent most of the money on football betting, losing nearly all of it.
Police were able to recover GH¢35,000, leaving an outstanding balance of GH¢79,000.
The court has adjourned the case to July 8, 2026, for sentencing.
