We all remember the story of Asola Fadola, a don of the infamous internet fraud, popularly known as Sakawa.
He was arrested and jailed last year for defrauding a British woman to the tune of ?£800,000. He used the money to fund his extravagant lifestyle. He was sentenced to 5-years imprisonment and was serving at the Nsawam Prison.
Anas Aremeyaw Anas has revealed that the online dating fraudster serving 5 years jail term has suddenly disappeared from the Nsawam Prison after serving just seven months of his sentence.
Tongues are wagging among prison officers about the circumstances under which Maurice Asola Fadola disappeared from the prison. They want their boss, Matilda Baffour Awuah, to answer.
Crowned as one of the world’s most prolific online dating fraudsters, Fadola managed to dupe some British widowed pensioners of about 800,000 leaving them bankrupt. He did this by posing as an Army General, claiming that he needed money for emergency medical services and some other things.
Little did they know that it was all for a luxury gold-plated mansion. However, he was caught in his bid to obtain a British visa. He was jailed five years with hard labour by the Financial Division of a High Court in Accra.
Fadola was convicted on 28 counts of defrauding by false pretense but seven months into his sentence, the Nsawam Medium Prisons cannot account for him.
