“I Will Shoot To Kill”

…Busted King Of Fraud Tells Police As They Foil His Scam Attempt

He looks very decent in appearance; suit with tie to match. He recently organized an all expense paid trip concert dubbed “Beacon of Peace,” where he brought chiefs and musicians from the Northern region of Ghana, flanked by beautiful girls, to celebrate in a grand occasion at the National Theatre.

He shares money to people like a Ga chief sprinkles ‘kpokpoi’ on the Ga land. Do not be deceived by his appearance, Mr. Mohammed Hafix Choggu, the chief executive of Hafred Security and Tarch House production, is part of the complex web of fraudsters who go around duping people of their genuine cash, they have made through sweat and toil.

But this time, he was not lucky. He has been nabbed through the hard work of Omega Strategic Services, who he was trying to defraud in a bold scam worth 5.7 million American dollars. He tried to out-smart Omega Strategic Services by playing tricks on them, but before he could realize they had chased him to Ghana to insure that justice prevails. Hafix Mohammed threatened Omega Strategic Services not to come near Ghana’s shores or else he would use the powers he had to bundle them into jail.

Mohammed Hafix was busted by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of Ghana last three days and is now on remand for his attempted fraud. Despite his initial bragging Hafix Mohammed has now been cowed into docility by his own fraudulent acts. He appeared in court like a dog with his tail between his legs. His other accomplices have all been un-masked by the New Crusading Guide special investigative team and are on surveillance by the Countries security Services.

The arrest of Mohammed Hafix did not come easy. It was a long Tuesday evening that ran into the early mornings of Wednesday, amidst the words “I will shoot you if you come near me,” he told security personnel and a New Crusading Guide reporter who was right on sight during the operation. Read the following dramatic event that happened in the house of Mohammed Hafix choggu, which led to his eventually surrendering to the Ghana Police CID personnel.

THE SHOWDOWN AT HAFIX’s HOUSE

It was all drama when a combined force of personnel of the Ghana Police CID, as well as the patrol team from the Ghana Police, surrounded the house of the King of Fraud. When the policemen announced their presence, the security man insisted they identify themselves. After the identification, the old-looking security guard told the police that Hafix Mohammed was not in, though his sleek custom numbered BMW Tuareg which he bought a few days ego was parked in the house.

When the heat became unbearable for the security man, he quickly ran and told his master. Then came the thick, tall Hafiz from bed, wearing cloth at his waist. As soon as he was out, he started screaming, “Who are you? If any of you enter this house, I will shoot the bloody hell out of you, and I mean it, because I am from the British Army, people like me hate nonsense and have no mercy for the cripple.” At this stage, the Police were only watching him as he kept on bragging. When he stopped, the police told him that they were from the Police CID Headquarters, and they wanted him at their office.

Hafiz shouted on top of his voice, saying, “All of you show me your ID cards, throw it into the house.” Then our New Weekend Crusading Guide undercover reporter, Anas Aremeyaw Anas, who was part of the operation, raised his head to look at him, and Hafiz shouted, “If you make any attempt to enter this house, I will kill you like a fowl, and I am prepared to die and to save myself from you armed robbers,” though he could clearly hear the sound of the police sirens and the bold Ghana police signs written on it. The police still begged him to come out and listen to their story, and he still rebuffed the police. This time around, he shouted that he had called the military to come and kill anybody in his house. This made the police believe that he was clearly bragging even when the law had caught up with him.

The King of Fraud now said he wouldn’t come out of that house and ordered the police to leave. The police, however, decided to wait for him. He dragged the police and kept them waiting in mosquito’s from midnight until the next morning. When the police decided to forcibly enter his house, he switched on his light and surrendered himself. He was then whisked into his customized BMW Tuareg and driven straight to the police headquarters. As of press time, he was on remand. Please stay tuned, for the story has just started to unfold, more names to be mentioned in this fraud as Anas Aremeyaw Anas investigates.
