The Prosecutor, Police Chief Inspector John Amaning Kwakye, told the court that three years ago the accused advertised on radio stations at Nkoranza that they were operating a micro finance business that yielded 60 per cent interest on cash deposits for a period of two months.

He further revealed that the monies deposited with the company ranged between GHC500.00 and GHC500,000.00.

Meanwhile, both DKM and Care for Humanity micro finance companies were closed down in 2015 by the Bank of Ghana after they flouted rules governing the operations of micro-finance business in the country.
