An Accra Circuit Court has sentenced a 29-year-old mobile banker, Aziz Suleman, to five years’ imprisonment for stealing GH¢70,840 from Abii National Savings and Loans.

Suleman, who was charged with stealing, pleaded guilty and was convicted by Jojo Amoah Hagan, who also ordered him to refund GH¢58,840.

He had earlier paid GH¢12,000 to the police during investigations.

The prosecutor, Sergeant Patience Avorga, said the complainant, Jennifer Benning, branch manager at Abii National, discovered on May 9, 2025, that GH¢45,000 had gone missing and reported the case to the Kaneshie Police.

Suleman was arrested and admitted to the offence.

A subsequent audit, conducted in his presence, confirmed that the total amount stolen was GH¢70,840.
