Forged signature: Energy Minister's imposter confesses to police
The man who forged the signature of the Minister
of Energy and Petroleum to transact businesses,
has reportedly confessed before Police
investigators that he forged the Ministers
signature.

Mr Charles Andoh who was arrested Thursday
reportedly told the police he committed the act
with the hope that the Canadian company, Gondwana
Energy, will give him some money adding that it
was his first time committing such an act.

The suspect was arrested following a report by
Miura Petroleum Ghana Limited and Gondwana Energy,
private companies operating in the country that
they have been defrauded by Charles who did not
only forge the signature of the Minister of Energy
and Petroleum but also forged the signature of the
Managing Director of Miura Petroleum Limited to
transact businesses.

The Ministry of Energy has since forwarded
documentations regarding the issue to the Economic
and Organized Crime Office (EOCO) to aide in their
investigations. It has also urged EOCO to
thoroughly investigate the issue to bring all
involved to book as required by law.

Readers will recall that the Ministry of Energy
and Petroleum first alerted EOCO following media
reports, to investigate the matter to clear its
name and also disassociate itself from the
suspect.

The suspect is currently in police custody while
further investigations are ongoing.
