VIDEO: Inside Accra’s fake laptop manufacturing business pops up

The Kwame Nkrumah Circle in Accra is known to be a hub for scammers.

Thieves, who pose as traders, are either producing a knock version of almost anything genuine or making consumers pay for products they never get.

From luxury bags to whatever the fad is, they have it already “freshly” made.

A Twitter video shared by @Rvp_Clerk tells a story of totally made-up laptops. A young man is seen spraying old dusty second-hand computers with black paint.

These fake laptops mostly make their way to the Circle market.

Watch the video below.
