Emerging details suggest that Ambassador Edmond Kofi Agbenutse Deh, #Ghana’s envoy to Japan, was deceived into signing documents unknowingly, letting out part of a property belonging to the mission to a gang of Japanese gamblers. The envoy is said to have believed the story of the gamblers when they told him that they were engaged in an NGO activity, something which according to them, previous envoys did not object to. Tokyo Police are reported to have asked Ambassador Deh to consent to questioning over an illegal casino at his official residence, waiving his diplomatic immunity. This new development may lead to the recall of the Ambassador. The gamblers’ goal, DAILY GUIDE learnt, was to operate under the cover of the diplomatic immunity the mission’s property provided, concealing thereby their illegality. Unfortunately, that was not to be as Tokyo law enforcement officers descended upon them, taking them into custody and confiscating two baccarats gambling platforms, 12 million yen ($ 118,164) in cash, according to a local broadcaster. citifmonline/?p=8171
