An Accra Circuit Court on Wednesday granted bail to one George Darko, unemployed who appeared before it for defrauding 25 people in Accra, Greater Accra Region; Kumasi, Ashanti Region; and Kasoa, Central Region by false pretences.
George was granted bail in the sum of GH¢55,000.00 with two sureties. He is also to submit his passport to the police.
He had earlier prayed the court to allow for an out of court settlement, but the court refused his prayer, saying in recent times cases of fraud were on the ascendancy and it would be better for the case to be dealt with in the law court.
The case has since been adjourned to August 20 for hearing.
At the last sitting, George was remanded by the court after he pleaded not guilty to all 22 charges of defrauding by false pretences.
