Lawyer Sekeyre’s role
After the price of the land was settled between Mr Hamilton and the fake Dr Brown Aryee, Lawyer Sekyere contacted Hamilton that he was lawyer for Dr Brown Aryee (fake one), and therefore, all payments ought to be made through him. On July 4, 2015, Dr Brown Aryee (fake one) took Mr Hamilton to Lawyer Sekyere, who prepared a contract for the sale of the land, which was signed by the two parties, and also collected the $200,000 on behalf of his client.
According to the prosecution, a week after paying the money, Yeboah called Mr Hamilton and demanded Gh?3,000, which Mr Hamilton paid.
“Two weeks after paying the money Lawyer Sekyere started putting pressure on Mr Hamilton to pay another $300,000 because his client was in need of funds,” Chief Inspector Denteh said.
Investigations
According to the prosecutor, the behaviour of Lawyer Sekyere and his accomplices made Mr Hamilton suspicious. He (Hamilton) therefore investigated the case and realised that he had been defrauded.
“It came to light that the rightful owner of the land (the real Dr Jennifer Jane–Brown Aryee) was outside the country and that, she had no idea of the sale of her land in question,” the prosecutor said.
Mr Hamilton reported the matter to the police and Lawyer Sekyere was arrested. He (Sekyere) admitted the offence, but said he could not trace his accomplices.
The lawyer, the prosecutor added, also said he gave the money to the fake Dr Brown Aryee.
“Police investigations revealed that Lawyer Sekyere, Yeboah, Amoah and the fake Dr Brown Aryee conspired to defraud Mr Hamilton,” Chief Inspector Denteh stated.
