After receiving the sum of ¢58,700 from the pastors, the tutor at Namon Senior High School at Offinso, allegedly went hiding at Akuapem Mampong in the Eastern Region.
The Offinso Police tracked and arrested the suspect at his hideout.
Mr Danso was arraigned before the Offinso Circuit Court and remanded into police custody to reappear on March 4, 2021.
Chief prosecutor, DSP Edmund Nyamekye says police will continue with investigations.
