The accused, the prosecution said, obliged and collected GH¢3,000 cedis and started the healing process.Wahab further collected a total of GH¢10,000 cedis on two different occasions under the pretext of buying drugs and items to heal the complainant’s mother.Wahab after collecting the money took Madam Nyeyala’s saloon car under the pretext of using it as collateral for a loan to facilitate the healing of the complainant’s mother.The prosecution said the complainant, however, realized Wahab had sold her car and her mother’s ailment was getting worse.Madam Nyeyala therefore reported the matter to the police on March 3, this year and Wahab was arrested.n his caution statement, he denied taking GH¢13,000 from Madam Nyeyala.
