Cashier accused of stealing employer’s GH¢306,140
A 26-year-old cashier, who allegedly appropriated GH¢306, 140 belonging to his employer, has been granted bail by the Dansoman Circuit Court.
Taibatu Sulley, the cashier, claimed she used GH¢250,775.72 for an online investment, which turned out to be fraudulent.
Charged with stealing, Taibatu has pleaded not guilty.
She has been granted GH¢320, 000 bail with three sureties, two of whom must be public servants living within the jurisdiction of the court and earning not less than GH¢3,000.
The last surety should be justified with title deeds or document covering an immovable property, equivalent to the bail sum.
The court ordered the accused to deposit her Ghana card at the registry of the court and report to the police once a week.
The prosecution was ordered to file disclosures by April 16, 2025 for Case Management Conference.
The case of prosecution was that the complainant is the administrator of the company (name withheld).
The company has a branch at Tudu, where Taibatu, who resides at Shukura in Accra, has been working as a cashier for the past three years.
Prosecution said accused failed to deposit GH¢13,920, GH¢3,800, GH¢65,240 and GH¢223,180, being daily sales, into the companies bank account at Fidelity Bank, Tudu branch.
Prosecution said the complainant reported the matter to the police and accused was arrested at Ga Odumase, near Pokuase, in the Greater Accra Region.
The prosecution said accused invested GH¢250,775.72 in an online transaction, which turned out to be fraudulent.
The court heard that Taibatu admitted the offence in her caution statement, and explained that she did not know the online investment was fraudulent.
Raibatu said she was asked to top up with more cash before she could withdraw all her money and that was when she realised she had been duped. —GNA
