An Accra Circuit Court has ordered the arrest of a 29-year-old blogger and gospel musician, Jacklin Sarfo Gyamfua, aka Ohemaa Jackie, for failing to appear before it.

The Court issued a bench warrant for the arrest of the musician because prosecution had informed the Court that Gyamfua had failed to comply with the orders of the court after she was granted bail.

The Court, as part of the bail condition, had asked Gyamfua to report to the Police but she failed.

The relieving judge, Mrs Priscilla Dapaah Mireku, held that since no reasonable excuse had been given by her lawyer, Gyamfua should be arrested.

The matter has been adjourned to December 6.

Gyamfua is accused of defrauding a trader of 21,000 Euros under the pretext of securing her two Italian passports and Resident Identity Cards.

She is facing charges of defrauding by false pretences and forgery of official documents and had denied the charges and on GHC150,000 bail.
