An Accra Circuit court has sentenced Owusu Sekyere, an attorney and Albert Coleman, to 12-years in prison in a fraudulent $200,000 land transaction.

Owusu Sekyere, a senior Attorney and Albert Coleman have collected the amount from one Ato Hamilton under the pretext of providing him with a parcel of land at Cantonments in Accra but failed to do so.
