GNA reported that Adjei offered Nicaraguan visas for his clients. He entered a not-guilty plea.
Arahman Bashiru, the Chief Executive Officer of Rashman Travel and Tours, filed the complaint.
In May 2023, Bashiru contacted a witness to secure travel documents for his clients, who also linked Adjei to him. Adjei promised to secure Nicaraguan visas for 20 of Bashiru's clients within three months.
Bashiru became convinced and gave Adjei $15,000 to obtain the required documents for his clients.
