Veteran actor, Samuel Karikari, popularly known as Koo Ofori, was scheduled to appear before the Dansoman District Court on Monday, May 12, 2025, following his arrest for allegedly defrauding a US-based Ghanaian.

GhanaWeb’s team at the court premises captured the arrival of Koo Ofori at the court.

The veteran actor, who is well known for the role he played in the hit TV series, ‘Efiewura,’ arrived at the premises of the court in a police pick-up truck.

After alighting from the vehicle, Koo Ofori could be seen being directed into the court building by two men in plain clothing.

Per reports, he was arrested for allegedly defrauding a US-based Ghanaian of $50,000.

According to reports by Kasoa-based Obaatanpa Radio, the victim, who resides in California, transferred the funds to Koo Ofori under the belief that it was for a legitimate investment opportunity.

However, it has been alleged that Koo Ofori absconded with the money, failing to fulfil any investment commitments.

Further reports stated that Koo Ofori defaulted on payments and failed to appear before the Dansoman District Court on April 17, 2025, according to court documents sighted.

This non-appearance led to the issuance of a bench warrant for his arrest, and he was scheduled to appear in court on May 9, 2025.

Videos shared by Accra-based Atinka FM also showed Koo Ofori being led in handcuffs to the courthouse by a police officer, during his arrest days ago.

However, the court did not convene on that day, with the case rescheduled for May 12, 2025.
