The former Twafuohene, deputy chief of Foase in the Atwima-Kwanwoma district, has been taken into police custody by the Nkawie Circuit Court for theft.
Charles Manu is said to have stolen ¢ 20,000 from a teacher, who wanted to buy him a piece of land.
His request was not accepted and would reappear in court chaired by Johnson Abbey on May 26 of this year.
Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Sylvanus Dalmeida told the court that the plaintiff was a teacher in Kotwi-Amanfrom, while the accused was the former deputy chief of Foase.
He said that in November 2018, Manu, on behalf of a Nana Agyei, a witness in the case, sold four construction sites to the plaintiff and raised an initial amount of ¢ 20,000, leaving a balance of ¢ 28,000 to be paid later.
DSP Dalmeida said in October 2019, when the plaintiff went to Nana Agyei to pay the balance, she was told that the defendant did not deliver the initial amount to the owner of the land.
He said that the author submitted a report to the Nkawie police and that the accused was arrested and, during interrogation, admitted to using the money.
The prosecution said that after the investigations, the police charged him and brought him to court.
