‘Bishop’ Manasseh Conto, who is being tried along with Stephen Kettor for allegedly duping a Korean businessman of US$134,000 from a vehicle rental contract with the World Food Program (WFP), has told Criminal Court ‘C’ that he actually received an unspecified amount from the arrangement. Conto claimed that he received his share of the US$134,000 from co-defendant Stephen Kettor, based on a tripartite agreement involving his company, SACS Group, the WFP, and Korea Trading Corporation that was managed by ‘Pastor’ Kettor. The contract was to supply vehicles to the WFP to facilitate the delivery of food and other items to victims during the Ebola outbreak. During his testimony, Conto said though Choi was out of the country, he and Kettor entered into the contract with the WFP. Defendant Conto also claimed that he wrote a promissory note assuring Choi that he was actually going to pay the US$5,000.
