Nsawam (E/R), March 18, GNA- Kwame Addo, a 45-year-old driver was on Wednesday jailed nine months by Nsawam Magistrate’s court for possessing fake 5,000 cedis note.
He pleaded guilty.
Passing sentence, Mrs. Ivy Heward-Mills, presiding over the court, advised Addo to reform while in prison so that he would not resort to easy and unlawful ways of getting money when released. Prosecuting, Detective Inspector Emmanuel Kwaku Akakpo told the court presided over by Mrs. Heward-Mills that Addo on March 11, this year, approached a head teacher at Amoakrom near Nsawam with some fake currency note.
The prosecution said Addo told the head teacher that there were more samples at Agona Swedru and that one Master Abotare now at large, sent him with the fake money to show it to him (the head teacher) so that the note could be circulated.
The prosecution said the complainant after collecting the fake currency arrested the accused person and sent him to the Nsawam Police Station.
