Court grants Agya Koo bail

Popular Ghanaian actor and comedian, Kofi Adu, commonly known as Agya koo, has been granted bail to a tune of 20,000 cedis with two sureties.

Agya Koo appeared before an Accra Circuit court today for his involvement in fraudulent case in which he is accused of duping some persons.

He is alleged to have defrauded about thirteen people of an amount of $1850 under the pretext of securing them visas to the United States of America, something the complainants say never came to fruition.

Agya Koo reported himself to the Criminal Investigations Department of the Ghana Police Service Friday morning upon invitation.

He was arrested and detained in police custody until Monday, January 21.

He has been charged with conspiracy to commit crime, to wit, migrant smuggling and defrauding by false pretenses.

Lawyer for the Agya Koo, Nkrabeah Effah Datteh, appealed to the court to grant his client bail on grounds that the charges brought against him do not involve murder or narcotics.

He will reappear before the court on Tuesday, January 22, 2013.
