A young woman, Adowa Dansoa, has been dragged to an Accra Circuit court presided over by Her Worship Helen Amoah for issuing a false cheque to a micro finance company, Oval Microfinance.

The accused pleaded not guilty to the charge, but the court admitted her to bail.

Presenting the facts of the case in court was Chief Inspector Jubiok Michaels. He told the court that the complainant was Joseph Asante, a loan officer of Oval Micro Finance Limited at Accra Newtown.

The prosecutor told the court in the month of December 2012, the accused secured a loan facility of GHc25,000 from the company and promised to pay back in a period of eight months.

He stated that Adowa, the accused, issued seven separate Fidelity bank cheques bearing same numbers to the company between the period of January and July 2013, but when the complainant presented the cheques to the bank, none of them were honoured.

When the accused got to know that the cheques had bounced, she went into hiding and vacated the house known to the complainant; efforts made by the complainant to retrieve the money proved futile.

Chief Inspector Jubiok indicated that on September 6th 2013, Adowa changed her name to Karen Prempeh and went to AE Microfinance at Kasoa for another loan facility.

However, luck run out on her when the police were immediately informed and she was subsequently arrested and later sent to court.
