31-year-old Vivian Sajida Imran who allegedly impersonated Kojo Oppong Nkrumah and some other ministers to swindle some individuals has not been able to meet her bail conditions given by the Accra Circuit Court.

She has been accused of defrauding these individuals to the tune of GH¢10, 277 under the guise of securing them jobs in public institutions and is said to have operated with her husband, Prince Joel, who is currently on the run.

The lady is also said to have been using the identities of Foreign Affairs Minister, Ms Shirley Ayorkor Botchway, and the Deputy Minister of National Security, Henry Quartey, for her fraud business.

But the accused is still in police custody for failing to meet the necessary bail conditions which includes the sum of GH¢12,000 with two sureties, one of which must be a public officer earning not less than GH¢1,500 a month.

The prosecution on the other hand said efforts were being made to finish its investigations in order to serve the accused person’s lawyer and the court with all necessary documents needed for the trial after the investigations.

Meanwhile, Sajida Imran has pleaded not guilty to all eight counts of pretending to be a public officer, contrary to section 237 of the Criminal Offences Act (Act 29) of 1960 and defrauding by false pretence contrary to section 131(1) of the Criminal Offences Act (Act 29) of 1960 with the explanation that it was her husband who used her mobile phone for the alleged fraudulent transactions.
