A 26-year-old salesperson, Nerissah Akordor, and a 28-year-old barber, Courage Addo, have appeared before the Ho High Court in the Volta Region of Ghana. They face charges related to the theft and dishonest receipt of an amount exceeding GH₵5 million, with an additional charge of money laundering.
The case, which has drawn public attention, was called before Justice Eric Baah. The charges stem from an incident where the couple is alleged to have stolen the money from a businessman. The prosecution contends that the funds were dishonestly received and subsequently laundered.
The court has remanded the two accused persons into police custody. The case has been adjourned to a later date to allow for further investigation and legal proceedings. The Ghana Police Service confirmed the details of the arrest and the charges filed.
