‘Strange’ money hitting my account – Martin Amidu

Special Prosecutor Martin Amidu has revealed that some heavy amount of money in the past days were deposited in his bank account from an unknown source.

“On 3rd August 2018, I was amazed when I went to one of the branches of my Bank to make a cash withdrawal by cheque from my current account only to be informed that the balance to my credit on the account had leaped more than five-fold1from my last balance on 7th July 2018. My account had been credited on 19th July 2018 with a transferred payment.” he disclosed in his latest epistle.

Realising the development, Amidu claimed he instructed his bankers to return the unusual money credited to his account and trace the unknown payer.

“I immediately made a verbal objection to the Branch Manager where I had gone to make the withdrawal in view of my earlier standing instructions to my Branch Manager not to accept any payments or transfers into my account without first clearing with me personally owing to an earlier incident when a similar payment was transferred to the credit of my account without notice or authorization from me in 2015,” Amidu indicated in his article.
