How Lancaster and Arrangement landed in US

According to a report by Gossip24tv's Clement Nana Asamoah, who claimed to have gathered his information from close sources, Lancaster and Arrangement's decision to travel to the US appeared more of a ‘set up’.

He claimed a White woman, whom he described as the Ghanaian twins 'client, stormed Ghana to visit them, unaware that it was a setup.

The blogger claimed that during the woman’s stay in Ghana, she purportedly created a strong bond with Lancaster and his brother, leading her to allegedly give her bank account to them for their supposed business, among meeting with his friend.

He went on to say that some purported police officers were believed to have disguised themselves as clients and transacted a deal with the Ghanaian twins, landing them what he stated was approximately $1.5 million.

Clement Nana Asamoah claimed Lancaster and Arrangement reportedly received a part of the money, which the woman in question reportedly allowed them to use her US account.

Detailing how they ended up in the US, he stated that the twins agreed with the White lady to travel to the country to collect the remaining money of the deal, for which she was believed to have helped them with getting their visas.

Unfortunately, they were reportedly arrested by the FBI upon arrival in the US.
