Swedru Circuit Court grants bail to two biometric fraudsters
The Swedru Circuit Court has granted bail to two
people who attempted to register in the ongoing
biometric voter registration exercise in Efutu
Municipal Assembly in the Central Region with
false information.

The two, George Arthur and Joshua Odoom, tried to
register with the house number of Joseph Roland
Quainoo, Municipal Co-ordinator of National
Disaster Management Organisation but luck eluded
them when the nephew of the complainant challenged
them about their claim.

The two who pleaded not guilty for deceit of a
public officer, would reappear on May 21.

The facts of the case are that George and Joshua
attempted registering at the Winneba Sports
College registration centre with the house number
of the complainant whose residence is popularly
known as “Class One Bay”.

However the nephew of Mr Quianoo, who is an agent
of the National Democratic Congress at the centre
challenged the accused persons that he knew
members of the household of the complainant and
they were not part of them.

He therefore hinted his uncle who caused the
arrest of the two accused persons at the Winneba
Police Station.
