A former Deputy Governor of the Bank of Ghana (Adam Mutawakilu ), founder of uniBank Ghana Limited and his son as well as six others have been charged by the state with 68 offences for their roles leading to the collapse of the bank in 2017.
Kwabena Duffour, Hoda Holdings Limited, Johnson Pandit Asiama, Kwabena Duffour II, Ekow Nyarko Dadzie-Dennis, Elsie Dansoa Kyereh, Jeffrey Amon, Benjamin Ofori and Kwadwo Opoku Okoh were cited in the charge sheet presented to the Accra High Court.
