High Court Hears $3M Fraud Case, Toh on Stop List
Singaporean businessman Toh You Kang and NDC Greater Accra Chairman Emmanuel Nii Ashie Moore are embroiled in a legal battle, accusing each other of fraud. Toh filed a human rights suit at the Accra High Court on June 27, 2025, seeking GH¢20 million and recovery of $800,000 he claims he paid Moore for unfulfilled Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) contracts.
Toh, introduced to Moore by Chinese partner Liang Liu Bing in 2023, alleges he paid $800,000 for ECG contracts that never materialized. His 66-paragraph affidavit claims Moore used President Mahama’s name to solicit $1.5 million for the NDC’s 2024 campaign. Toh says he was detained, assaulted, and extorted for $3 million during a May 2025 visit, with his phones seized and photos sent to his family. He sought Singaporean Embassy aid.
Conversely, Toh faces fraud charges at the Dansoman Circuit Court for allegedly defrauding Moore of $3 million between May and August 2024 for a joint cable business. Court documents state a Chinese investor transferred the funds to Toh, who absconded and falsely claimed he paid Moore. Arrested on May 28, 2025, Toh admitted receiving the money but denies it was for Moore. He’s on remand, with the case adjourned to July 31, 2025, for Attorney General review.
Moore, via lawyer Gideon Tettey Tetteh, denies receiving $800,000, calling Toh’s claims defamatory. Moore accuses Toh of swindling him and his partners of $3 million, with EOCO probing an additional $2.8 million theft. Foshan Yuejiaxin Wire & Cable Co Ltd, Liang’s firm, disowned Toh, supporting Moore and confirming losses from Toh’s actions. The company’s director provided evidence to the police.
The Accra High Court placed Toh on Ghana’s stop list on July 3, 2025, barring him from leaving due to the criminal case (CR/0530/2025). Moore’s team denies extortion or assault, asserting lawful police handling. Both sides await further hearings, with Moore urging respect for due process in this high-profile dispute.
