Europa 14:23 - 16 August 2017

One of the victims told the court that the two told her she would get pregnant within two months.

Two self-styled pastors have appeared before the Accra Circuit Court for allegedly duping a woman to help her get a child.

The woman, identified as Mabel told the court that the two - Joseph Braimah and Derrick Kweku Sakyi Baisie aka Kweku Money told her she would get pregnant within two months.

The prosecution said the two suspects subsequently took a sum of Gh¢6,000 from Mabel to help her get the child she needed.

The prosecution further told the court presided over by Mrs Malike Awo Woanya Dey that Braimah and Baisie also used the same modus operandi to defraud four other family members of Mabel.

They defrauded them of GH¢302,000, a Mercedes Benz, a Kia saloon car, an Apple MacBook, an Apple iphone and an Infinix mobile phone, with the pretext of preventing demonic attacks by offering special prayers and giving them prophetic directions.

Braimah and Baisie have since pleaded not guilty to a charge of conspiracy to defraud under false pretence and five counts of defrauding by false pretences before the court.
