Reports say the late chief discussed the circumstances surrounding his indebtedness to his colleague cocoa farmers in the district with his family and they promised to help him raise the said amount but failed.
According to Class Media Group’s correspondent, Nana Amoako Gyampo, the late chief was the treasurer of the cocoa farmers in the Asante Akyem North district and it was suspected that he had collected money amounting to GHS120,000.
Nana Amoako Gyampo told Accra 100.5 FM’s mid-day news that somebody prevailed on the late chief to bet the money on the ongoing AFCON games to double it and he obliged.
It is, however, not clear which team and match the late chief bet to the tune of GHS120,000 on.
