Earlier, an Accra Circuit Court presided over by Mrs. Evelyn Asamoah admitted Diamond to bail in the sum of GHC300,000 with three sureties who are to be public servants.
This comes after she (Diamond Appiah) was arrested for allegedly collecting a sum of $30,000 from Ayisha Modi under the pretext of selling a parcel of land at East Legon Hills.
Touching on the development, Ayisha in an interview with Kofi TV confirmed that Diamond has indeed been granted bail whiles disclosing who offered the help.
“They have granted her bail. Bugri Nabu granted her bail her and the next court case is on the 8th. I can’t say much about it because the issue is still in court. I don’t know what the court is judging but she has been given from now to 8th to refund my money. If she doesn’t bring it, then the judge will make his decision. Whether she will be sentenced or I will be.
“Diamond is not my friend and I haven’t even been to her house before. She was a business partner. I linked her to a some of my friends and they also bought lands from her but they faced similar problem. She is an agent. She doesn’t have lands to her name. she acts as a middle man to chiefs and persons who want to sell their lands,” she stated in an interview with Kofi TV.
