Plot against Baah Wiredu Exposed

FRAUDSTER LINKS MINISTER’S NAME

AN ATTEMPT by a 419 Syndicate to dupe unsuspected people in the name of Mr. Kwadwo-Baah Wiredu, Minister of Finance and Economic Planning has been exposed. The Sun’s UK source indicates that for some months now, the syndicate, led by a certain Anita and her gangsters have been moving heaven and earth to woo people to part with huge sums of money to them through e-mail messages.

Luck seem to have run out for the gangsters when last Saturday, April 21, Anita who claims she was Mrs Anita Kojo Baah Wiredu wired a message to a certain Mohammed Ahmed in London, with the hope of squeezing money from him.

Unknowingly, Anita’s gangsters fell into boiling water when they ignorantly chose Mohammed Ahmed, a Ghanaian who knew the Minister for their game. In her attempt to win Mohammed’s heart, Anita claimed that Mr. Baah Wiredu had been her husband who passed away through the deadly disease, HIV/AIDS and that she was finding it difficult to live in the country.

She claimed in the e-mail which is available to The Sun that, because her husband the Minister died of AIDS, her children have stopped school for they could no longer stand the humiliation from fellow students.

“The embarrassments are getting on my nerves but what can I do? I would have loved to travel out of the country to a place where I will have peace and spend the rest of my life with my children, but I cannot make it for l am weak and severely sick because after the death of my husband I also tested positive for the disease,” she wrote.

Moreover, she said, no Embassy would grant me visa with my hairs withering and boils all over my body.

“From all indications I know that my days are numbered. In the light of the above, I have contacted you to assist me to transfer out of Ghana the sum of $13.5 million USD and the 250kg of gold my husband deposited as (GOLD TREASURES) with a security company for the up-keep of my children. I intend safe-keeping it for my children as they will be coming to your country in due course to live and school,” the fraudster wrote.

She outlined how the money was to be shared should Ahmed agree to the deal. “I am prepared to give you 25% of the total funds,” she wrote and adding that, I got your contact via internet as God wished it so.

When reached for his comment Mr. Baah Wiredu Minister for Finance appealed to the public to report such characters to security agencies.

“In fact I would be grateful if the general public could help security agents arrest and weed out such fraudsters from the system.

The Minister told The Sun that it was sad that some disgruntled people were going round using his name to dupe unsuspecting members of the public. “We must all help expose such characters,” he said.
