A 30-year-old driver, Ebenezer Nii Adjei, has been sentenced to 12 months imprisonment by an Accra Circuit Court for stealing GH¢100,000 from his employer.
Adjei, who pleaded guilty, admitted using the funds to buy a car and motorbike, and to rent and furnish an apartment.
The judge, Mrs. Susan Eduful, was informed that the vehicle and motorbike had since been recovered.
According to Chief Inspector Clemence Takyi, the complainant, Alidu Arimiyaw, an event organiser from Nungua, had employed Adjei for some time.
On May 21, 2025, while on duty together, Arimiyaw left a bag containing GH¢100,000 in the car to transact with a mobile money vendor.
He had earlier told a decorator the funds were for an upcoming event.
Seeing his employer return to the car, Adjei drove off with the money.
He later abandoned the vehicle and fled.
A police report led to his arrest.
Adjei confessed to the theft during investigations, and the prosecution confirmed that the retrieved car and motorbike will serve as exhibits in the case.
