Earlier today, Josephine arrived at the court house with five lawyers, working pro bono, and pleaded not guilty to the court on charges of putting fear and panic in the public and deceiving public officials.
Briefing the court, Superintendent Emmanuel Basintale, said police investigations suggest that the mobile number used by the supposed kidnappers were registered in the name of the accused, Josephine Panyin Mensah Simons.
The Western Regional head of prosecutions and legal affairs at the regional police command who led the prosecutions also told the court that the prosthetics she wore to pretend that she was pregnant were bought at Takoradi Market Circle at the cost of GHC30.
Josephine was granted a bail of Ghc50,000 with two sureties.
