The Accra Circuit Court has granted Kailani Ibrahim Kpa, popularly known as the “Powder Man,” bail of GH¢400,000.
He was granted GH¢400,000 bail with three sureties by the Accra Circuit Court 9 after being charged with visa and travel fraud.
Reports suggest he was arrested on Monday, August 24, 2026, at East Legon in Accra.
The Accra Circuit Court 9 has since adjourned the case to September 28, 2026.
Powder Man is alleged to have collected more than US$30,000 from over 13 people after promising to arrange travel to Canada, Nicaragua, and the United States, but reportedly went into hiding when the trips failed to materialise.
In a viral video shared on social media, Ibrahim was brought to the court premises under police escort. He was wearing a nose mask and a green hoodie.
Also, viral videos have surfaced of victims who allegedly paid popular Black Stars supporter Kailani Ibrahim, popularly known as “Powder Man,” for visa and travel arrangements have disclosed the amounts they paid.
The victims claim they paid various sums for promised trips to countries including Canada, Nicaragua and the United States, but the arrangements allegedly failed to materialise.
Also, another claimed he paid $9000 but the Powder Man wants to take him to Bolivia.
In other news, a group of Ghanaian businesswomen who are victims of an alleged GH¢13m import scam have publicly urged President Mahama, the Attorney General, and the Inspector-General of Police to intervene after a court dismissed their fraud complaint.
According to the businesswomen, the court dismissed their fraud complaint involving over GH¢13 million allegedly lost to a man promising to import goods.
One of the complainants disclosed that the suspect was arrested in March 2024 and later granted bail, with the case proceeding to court until it was dismissed on Wednesday, prompting the victims to seek intervention from the authorities.
Speaking in a viral video, the victims outside Dansoman Circuit Court in Accra, where one woman in sunglasses passionately voiced their frustration, stated, “This is a public appeal to the IGP, His Excellency the President, and the Attorney General. We are women; we worked in Ghana, and some came to us that he was selling some goods we gathered our money and also other people’s money and gave the money to him to import the goods for us.
He presented himself as an agent, over GH¢13million, that is over 130 billion old cedis. We are standing at the Dansoman court; the man was arrested on 18 March 2024 and was granted bail. Since then, every time we come to court, the case is adjourned, and today, August 6, the case has been dismissed”.
“People have died, people’s marriages have also ended, and their businesses have been ruined; some have also gone into hiding because of this issue. Over 130 billion old cedis, and he is still in Ghana walking free. Since 2024, they have been conducting an investigation. Are we going to allow this person to go scot-free? We understand the wheel of justice is slow, but this one has stopped; they are acquitting the person.
Please help us so that our issue will get to the President and other leaders. We reported the case at the Central Police Station in Accra, and he was arrested and is now walking free while we are struggling to pay our debts”.
