Osei then sent text messages to the companies informing them that Anas was investigating their dealings and offered to help to have the investigations halted.

He blackmailed and succeeded in collecting various sums of money from them.

DSP Nketia said one of Osei victims said her received several anonymous text messages that if he did not desist from his “fraudulent activities”, he (Osei) together with Anas would expose him.

According to him, Osei then called him on phone and threatened that if he did not bring the money, he would destroy his image.

DSP Nketia said Anas and his outfit had a tip-off that Osei was forging documents with his company’s name, and advised him to desist from his activities, but he denied knowledge of the said activities.

According to the Police Commander, when Osei was arrested, he admitted the offence.
