Three individuals—Albert Nii Tetteh, Wisdom Kortorshi, and Richard Osei—have been remanded by the Dansoman Circuit Court for allegedly defrauding Alpha Lotto Company Limited of GH₵160,000.
The accused, two sub-lotto agents and a phone repairer, pleaded not guilty to charges of defrauding by false pretence.
The court, presided over by Her Honour Halimah El-Alawa Abdul Baasit, denied their bail, citing ongoing investigations and concerns over a fourth suspect still at large.
The prosecution revealed the accused used falsified winning tickets to claim lottery payouts on two occasions.
Their next hearing is set for November 27, 2024.
