On Wednesday, an Accra Circuit Court took the decision to rescind a bench warrant previously issued for the arrest of Prince Tagoe, the former Black Stars player who is currently facing charges related to an alleged auto fraud case.
The court's action followed Prince Tagoe's failure to appear before them on August 30, 2023, which led to the issuance of a bench warrant for his arrest.
However, on Wednesday, September 6, Prince Tagoe, accompanied by his counsel Kwesi Kwakye, appeared before the court and made a payment of GH¢71,000 towards the case.
Kwakye informed the court of the bench warrant that had been issued for his client's arrest, subsequently pleading for its revocation. In response, Bright Samuel Acquah, representing the complainant, proposed, "Bench warrant issued for the arrest of the accused person is to be revoked and GH¢71,000 paid by the accused persons be given to the complainant."
The case has been adjourned to September 27.
Prince Tagoe stands accused of defrauding Black Stars Assistant Coach, George Boateng, of $40,000. Allegedly, he obtained these funds under the pretense of importing a Lexus sports utility vehicle for the Assistant Coach.
Tagoe has been charged with defrauding by false pretences and, while denying the offence, has made payments of GH¢20,000, GH¢70,000, and GH¢71,000, respectively.
The court has granted him bail in the sum of GH¢100,000, requiring three sureties, one of whom must be a civil servant. Additionally, the court has stipulated that one of the sureties may provide justified landed property.
