An Accra Circuit Court has sentenced a self-styled businessman to five years in prison for defrauding two public servants of GH₵37,500.00 in a house renting scheme.

Joseph Agyemang, aka “Nana Yaw Boatey,” collected the money under the guise of renting out his property to them but failed.

Agyemang pleaded not guilty to two counts of defrauding by false pretence.
