Veteran Actor Koo Fori Out on ₵320K Bail, Denies $50K Fraud

Ghanaian comic actor Koo Fori, known in private life as Samuel Seth Kwabena Kyere Karikari, has pleaded not guilty to charges of defrauding a US-based Ghanaian of $50,000.

The actor appeared before the Dansoman Circuit Court on Monday, May 12, following his arrest by the Accra Central Police Command on Friday, May 9.

He was charged with defrauding under false pretences and was subsequently granted bail to the tune of ₵320,000 with three sureties.

According to police sources, the “Efiewura” TV series star allegedly received the funds from the California-based victim under the pretext of facilitating a legitimate investment opportunity.

However, he reportedly failed to fulfil the agreement and went into hiding.

The victim, whose identity remains undisclosed, complained to the authorities after several failed attempts to retrieve the money.

Investigations revealed that Koo Fori not only defaulted on the repayment but also ignored a summons to appear before the Dansoman District Court on April 17, 2025.

His failure to respond to the court’s order resulted in a bench warrant being issued for his arrest.
