He explained that his son registered a company while pursuing his studies in the US, engaging in the business of buying cars for people.
A move he stated was not sanctioned by him as the father [Fuseini], adding that he sent him to the US to school and concentrate on his studies.
"He [Abdul Inusah] registered the company and was buying cars for people, a decision which I never approved of because I believe that if you are sent to school to learn, you must concentrate on your studies. But he registered the company and was buying cars for people, including some individuals in Ghana. However, in this particular case, he bought a car for his fellow students, who happened to be Nigerians. It was later discovered that the money used for the purchase was acquired fraudulently," he narrated.
He further explained that his son is not the type of person who would engage in illicit activities.
