Trader in court for allegedly Stealing  Gold from Chinese national 

**Court Proceedings**

A 52-year-old trader, Ampofo Djan, faces charges in court. He is accused of conspiring and stealing two kilograms of gold from Qilin Liu, a Chinese national. The Dansoman Circuit Court heard the case on March 20, 2025. However, Djan was not present at that hearing. The court has rescheduled the case for April 15, 2025, and instructed Djan to attend.

**Case Background**

On December 11, 2024, Djan reported to the police. He claimed he had an agreement to sell two kilograms of gold to Qilin Liu. The gold was tested at City Link Metals International. Liu allegedly did not make the required payment for the gold.

Djan informed police that Liu was staying at Tang Palace Hotel. This led to Liu's arrest. During investigations, Liu stated that Anthony Turkson took possession of the gold.

CCTV footage from the hotel showed both men entering Liu’s room. The footage also showed Turkson leaving with a bag believed to contain the stolen gold. Since then, Djan has reportedly not helped police find Turkson.

Djan has been charged and ordered to appear in court. His absence during the first hearing raised concerns about his whereabouts. The court is waiting for him on April 15 for further proceedings.
