Inspector Koole said the accused used certain board resolutions dated October 6, 2015 and November 11, 2015, purporting to be from the college and church boards, respectively, to facilitate the obtaining the loan.
He said the first defendant, Frimpong Amponsah, used Kofi Tinkorang instead of his real name to sign as the college administrator and principal to defraud next-generation investment services to secure the loan.
