A mobile money vendor has appeared before the Dansoman Circuit Court, accused of stealing GH¢112,660 from her employer.
Juliana Addy, 29, pleaded not guilty to the charge of stealing.
The court granted her bail in the sum of GH¢20,000 with two sureties and directed her to deposit copies of her Ghana Card with the Court Registry and report to the Police every two weeks.
It also directed the prosecution to file disclosures and witness statements for the Case Management Conference and adjourned the matter to March 25, 2026.
The prosecution said the complainant, Esther Fosuah Cobbinah, is an entrepreneur who owns a company with a branch at the Last Stop in Dansoman, Accra.
It said Addy, employed in January 2024, was assigned to operate Cobbinah’s mobile money shop and supervise other employees.
The prosecution explained that Addy continued in that role until June 25, 2025, when Cobbinah travelled to the USA for six months, and left her in charge of one of the shops and its stock.
It said upon Cobbinah’s return in December 2025, a routine audit revealed discrepancies, and a joint annual audit on January 2, 2026, showed that Addy could not account for GH¢104,300.
Addy reportedly told the police she used the money to pay her father’s medical bills and her brother’s tuition fees, and to spend the remainder.
The prosecution said that Addy was arrested on January 6, 2026, after Cobbinah lodged a formal complaint at the Dansoman Police Station, and that Cobbinah admitted to the offence during police interrogation.
It said investigations also revealed that Addy had used the company’s mobile money merchant numbers to secure online loans of GH¢5,225 and GH¢3,135 from a loan firm without Cobbinah’s knowledge.
