Police hunt for NGO president

The Police said on Tuesday that they are looking for Mr David Kudom Worae, alias Leslie Blankson, a Director of Agyapomaa Societal Needs International an NGO, following allegations that he has defrauded a number of people and organisations.

Mr Richard Baduweh, Director of Police Public Relations, told the Ghana News Agency (GNA) in Accra that a number of police stations have had the suspect on their wanted list for the past two years.

The NGO was last Saturday inaugurated at the Golden Tulip Hotel in Accra. Mr Baduweh said the police had information that Mr Worae would be attending the inauguration last Saturday and laid ambush to arrest him, but he did not turn up.

He said the suspect is believed to be involved in illegal clearing of goods and visa racketeering, among other crimes.
