Francis Agyare, who is baffled with the public accusations said he was a victim of unfulfilled promises and was compelled by circumstances to report the matter to a higher authority.

First, he pointed out that he got out of jail long before he came into contact with the lawyer and that Mr Sosu had absolutely nothing to do with his being released from jail. His dealings with the lawyer were only to the extent of fighting for compensation after his wrongful incarceration.

He said after signing every agreement reached with the lawyer, his fate was left in his hands.

He said even a promise of adequate medical care and a place of abode did not see the light of day.

“He asked me how much I spend a day and I said GH¢5 and he promised to give me GH¢150 a month, so I signed for 10 percent of the money to be used for that."

“He also promised to rent me a place after I told him I did not have a place to stay and I signed that 10 percent of the money is used for that.”

Since then Mr Agyare added, “He has been tossing me everywhere and whatever he made me sign, he did not do anything about it. So I forgot about him.”

He also claimed that a GH¢1,900 in donation from some lawyers in Cape Coast after hearing his plight which he handed over to Mr Sosu was not given to him.

He said when he questioned his lawyer of the whereabouts of the money so he could rent a place to live, he told him that the money was for him [Sosu].

“He told me that he requested for that money and that if it was not for him the money would not have been contributed and so the money was his. He gave me only GH¢100 from it.”

Mr Agyare said he was hurt by that response, but it was then that it dawned on him that the lawyer was out to dupe him.
