Former Black Stars player Samuel Inkoom, has been accused of defrauding two individuals, Doris Dankwa and her fiancé, Seth Osei Addai of USD 8,000.

The couple, who were seeking to relocate to the United States, reportedly approached Inkoom, believing he had the necessary connections to facilitate their travel. Inkoom allegedly persuaded them to pay USD 4,000 each for visa processing services, which they transferred through Doris’s father, John Dadzie.

However, after receiving the money, Inkoom failed to deliver on his promise and became unreachable. Frustrated by the lack of communication, the couple filed a report with the police, sparking an investigation. Despite attempts to contact him, Inkoom initially evaded arrest. He was eventually apprehended with the help of his former club, Hearts of Oak.

In court on July 23, 2024, at the Kwabenya Circuit Court, presided over by Ms. Mavis Bedjrah, Inkoom pleaded for an extension to repay the money, explaining that he was working to sell his properties to raise the necessary funds. The court granted his request and set a new deadline for October 31, 2024.

The court is set to continue hearing the case in the coming months as the legal process unfolds.
