Traditional leader arrested in Ketu North
Before Nii Acquah III’s struggles, a prominent figure with the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Ketu North constituency, Princess Emmanuella Sam, was reportedly arrested over her involvement in an alleged vehicle auction fraud case involving GH¢3.39 million.
Sam, who is also a traditional ruler with the stool name Nana Akua Akuffo I, was accused of allegedly collecting GH¢3,390,000.00 from a group of 29 individuals, led by one Rev. Lionel Lawson, for the purchase of 38 vehicles through a private auction.
She allegedly gained their trust through her alleged connections to the Chief of Staff, Julius Debrah.
According to the petitioners, the vehicles were never delivered as agreed, and Emmanuella Sam subsequently became unreachable after receiving the funds.
