A young Ghanaian lady has accused her boyfriend, who is purportedly an officer of the Ghana Armed Forces, of fraud after duping her of GH¢3,500.

Deborah said that when the soldier man informed her about the travel opportunity, she told him she did not have a passport and birth certificate, and he offered to help her get them.

She said the officer of the Ghana Armed Forces called with an unknown number to inform her that he had relocated to Germany.

Before hanging up the call, Deborah said her soldier lover told her about an opportunity to join him aboard.

The young lady, who looked naive from how she narrated her ordeal, said her soldier boyfriend requested her to pay GH¢15,000 to process her visa but she told him she could not afford it.

"He asked me not to tell anyone, but I told my mum about it when I got home, and she called him to find out more about the opportunity. He asked my mum to send him GH¢10,000 and then pay the rest later, but she told him we did not have that kind of money," she narrated.

Later, upon persuasion by her mother, the young Ghanaian lady said her soldier boyfriend asked them to pay GH¢3,500 for him to top it up with GH¢2,500.

After the money was sent to him via a mobile money number he provided, Deborah said she later discovered through their pastor that the soldier man was actually in Ghana and not Germany.

"I asked him to give me back my money or I cursed him and he said he did not steal the money from my pocket and he did not take it in person, I gave it to him willingly, but I also threatened to expose him publicly if he refuses to return the money,” she added.
