The Accra High Court has issued an arrest warrant for Collins Amoah, the former Member of Parliament for Ablekuma Central constituency. Amoah is accused of being involved in the illegal collection of approximately GH\u00a2800,000 from a businessman, Solomon Okuley, and his partner. The former MP allegedly used the promise of clearing Okuley’s Ghana tax debt to extort the money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Amoah’s arrest warrant was issued due to his failure to appear in court for trial.
