Popular Ghanaian Lawyer, Maurice Ampaw want the younger brother of former President John Dramani Mahama jailed for fraud.
He explained that, Ibrahim Mahama's dud cheques brouhaha must be investigated thoroughly and charged for “intentionally” defrauding the state.
“There’s fraud in this. His reason for issuing the dud cheques so many times is unreasonable and must be arraigned before court,” He said in an interview with NEAT FM’s morning show ‘Ghana Montie’.
Ibrahim Mahama was recently invited by the Economic and Organised Crimes Office (EOCO) for questioning over some dud cheques he issued to the Customs division of the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) at the Tema Ports to clear some heavy duty equipment he imported into the country.
After interrogation, the businessman has been ordered by EOCO to hand over his passport whiles investigation is ongoing.
Lawyer Maurice Ampaw who insisted that government must charge Ibrahim Mahama for fraud also noted that- “He [Ibrahim Mahama] has committed a crime. This crime cannot be negotiated. If all elements are established after investigations, he should be punished for that. Ibrahim Mahama must face the law court. He must face a maximum sentence.”

Sorry to say that some people call themselves learned but they dont investigate matters before they come out, Is it because Ibrahim is President John Mahama's brother. So Ghanaians dont know Ibrahim is an NPP member, his mother and uncle Mr. Nyaho Tamakloe are strong NPP members. Why the time Ibrahim was sponsoring NPP people did not talk until the time his half brother became President then people started talking. This young got his money before his brother became even the vice President and he was having his own plane before his brother became President. He has help more NPP senior men. If Kennedy Agyapong need a plane he should rather contact him and he will tell him how he acquire it.
that is normal if the person is a tall person then there is no need forgetting to always check on him because the world is not for tall people but all manner of people.Hola to you all my enemies. Pablo.
Let Ibrahim go he has done nothing wrong. Being successful doesn't means you passed through fraudulent way.
Who is this comedian. You could not even defend your client against Asamoah Gyan. WHere did you study your law and what is your interest in this case? Are you spoke person for the state or the Ibrahim? get serious
Ibrahim did not give company cheques he gave personal cheques which is not acceptable, you don't pay clearing company's goods with personal cheques and he know it but acted the way he did, some of these cheques even dates back to 2013, he could have arranged to pay if he intend paying. so lets leave it for the law to take it cause.
I am yet to get the details of the investigations against Ibrahim Mahama, but it will be of interest to know whether he is being investigated as a person or because his company gave dud cheques to the state and he is the managing director. Let us try to follow legal principles here, even as sometimes, we know that there is a need to lift the veil. That is however a judicial determination.
