NDC’s Ashie Moore Runs To Court: I am a victim of $3m fraud, I’m no thief

Nii Ashie-Moore, the Greater Accra Regional Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has denied allegations in the media that he is the suspect in a lawsuit involving a $2.2 million transaction and that he has defrauded a foreign national an amount of a $800, 000.

The NDC Regional Chairman insists he is rather the complainant because he and his business partners were victims of fraud to the tune of $3 million under false pretences

A statement from the lawyer of Ashie-Moore, Gideon Tettey Tetteh Esq., said the matter has since been reported to the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) and investigations have commenced.

“There is no truth to reports that Mr Ashie Moore has received any payment of $800,000 from the suspect,” the statement noted.

It continued: “These are baseless accusations intended to tarnish the impeccable reputation of Mr Ashie-Moore,”

It was categorical that it is Mr Kang who defrauded Mr Ashie Moore and his associates, causing significant harm to their business operations.”

Ashie-Moore’s lawyers said they had officially petitioned the Office of the Attorney General over the matter and petitioned him to take over the case.

Ashie-Moore’s lawyers he legal team has also petitioned the Attorney General’s Office, requesting that it take over the case due to its complexity and international scope.

Ashie-Moore rejected additional allegations that he had seized Mr. Kang’s passport or physically assaulted him.

Meanwhile,  Toh You Kang has alleged, without evidence, that he donated  an amount of $1.5 million to the NDC during the 2024 election campaign, channeling the funds through  Nii Ashie-Moore.

Toh You Kang alleges, again without evidence, that the funds were used to produce and distribute campaign materials including T-shirts, wristbands, caps and booklets promoting the NDC’s “24-hour economy” policy.

The claims are contained in an affidavit supporting a human rights lawsuit filed by Mr Toh You Kang at the Human Rights Division of the High Court in Accra.
