He continued that his uncle did not use the money for what was stated, but he misused the funds and sponsored his son to the UK.

“My uncle informed me about a land and I sent him $3000 to buy the land. I also gave him my truck to work so the income can be used to build a house on the land. His son managed the business and used the proceeds to travel to the UK.”

After his uncle and cousin mismanaged the business, Mr Adu Agyei said he made his brother take over the business, but also disappointed him. His brother used the money to finance his education.

Mr Adu Agyei said these happenings made him depressed, and he would sometimes burst into laughter without any reason.
