Miss Krah pleaded guilty to all the charges levelled against her by the prosecution.

Presiding judge Michael Ampadu passed the judgment after she allegedly faked her kidnapping to demand GHS 5,000 from her adopted father.

Joana allegedly had collaborated with two others – Susanna Awortwe and Francis Eshun – to allege kidnapping to extort monies from her adopted father.
