UNAG disassociates itself from fraudulent group

Takoradi, Dec. 2, GNA —The United Nations

Association of Ghana (UNAG) has disassociated itself from a group

calling itself Ghana United Nations Association (GUNA) that has

been registering people under the pretext of giving them loans.

This was contained in a press statement issued in Takoradi, signed

by Mrs. Jane Edna Phillips, Secretary General of UNAG, and copied

to the Ghana News Agency on Thursday.

Mrs. Phillips revealed that the chief architect behind that fraudulent

act, one Kwaku Isaiah, was in the grips of the police and cautioned the

public not to deal with any member of GUNA.

She stated that, the group asked people they had registered to pay

GHc30 for the processing of the loan facility.

Mrs. Philips added that, the group also asked people who wanted to

travel to Germany and Holland to pay GHc2,400 to enable them

to secure travelling documents for them.

This illegal group is using the name of the World Federation of the

United Nations Association (WFUNA) and the United Nations

Association of Ghana (UNAG) on their forms to deceive people, she

stated.

She therefore advised the public to report any member of GUNA

that would approach them to the police for their arrest.
