Two cashiers before court for allegedly stealing GH¢250,000

Two cashiers of a Kaneshie-based Susu Collecting Firm “Dwadifo Adamfo” on Monday appeared before an Accra Circuit Court for allegedly stealing GH¢250,000 belonging to their employers.

Faustina Quansah and Prosper Komla charged with conspiracy to steal and stealing pleaded not guilty.

The court presided over by Mr Eric Kyei-Baffour granted them GH¢250,000 bail with two sureties each who should be public servants.

They would re-appear on Friday, August 26.

The prosecutor, Police Chief Inspector J.K. Anim, told the court that the complainant was General Manager of “Dwadifo Adamfo” while Faustina was a cashier formerly stationed at Kosoa.

He said Faustina was later transferred to the Kaneshie branch and Komla, a former cashier at Kasoa was now the company’s Business Manager.

The prosecutor said on July 26, this year, the complainant detected that Faustina had withdrawn GH¢2,000 from a customer’s account without the receivers’ name and address.

He said the complainant therefore informed the company’s Information Technician to check on Faustina’s transactions with the company and it was realised that she had made huge withdrawals from two customer’s account and had back dated some of the withdrawals.

When the complainant contacted the two customers, they denied ever withdrawing monies from their account.

According to the prosecutor, it was further detected that Faustina had altered another account and withdrawn some money.

Prosecution said when investigations were extended to Kasoa, it was detected that Faustina conspired with Komla to withdraw money totalling GH¢250,000.
