Mr. Mazen Farakh said he was introduced to Sunny Awamini sometime in 2018 when he was in Ukraine and was looking for teak wood to purchase from Ghana. Over a period of time, Mazen Farakh sent Sunny Awamini millions of dollars for the export of the teak wood to him in Europe, but Sunny Awamini came up with all kinds of excuses as to why he had not been able to make the supply.
