GIJ student loses ghc 200k to online trading

A final year student of the Ghana Institute of Journalism (GIJ), Nancy Asante Bannor has fled after she lost a total of Two Hundred Thousand Ghana cedis in an online forex trading.

Nancy is said to have left behind a suicide note narrating her ordeal.

According to her roommates, she has been in forex trading for some time now and has improved to become an agent through whom a lot of people including her church members invest on the platform.

They indicate that they returned from church on Monday night to see the suicide note from their friend narrating her ordeal and the fact that her clients do not seem to believe that the investment has indeed been depleted on the trading platform.

In the suicide note, Nancy stated that ” I don’t know what the night has for me and what awaits me but the only thing I pray for now is death and nothing else. Please tell God to forgive me and if possible give me another chance. I can’t kill myself at home that’s why I came back and I can’t do it here as well. Please forgive me.”

The issue had however been reported to the Adabraka Police.

One of her roommates Bernice Mensah said that the incident has shocked everyone in the hostel because Nancy is well behaved and has no history of a misdemeanor.

“She is a good girl and a good friend. She is well behaved and a good student. Her parents have been informed of the incident and her father says she should come home but she hasn’t gone home. She says the people she invested the money for do not trust that the money is indeed missing and they now suspect her”.

Crime Check Foundation (CCF) continues to caution the general public to desist from acts that will land them into prison through its programme, ‘STAY AWAY FROM TROUBLE’ in which prison inmates are interviewed on what led them to their imprisonment and the difficulties they face in detention.
