A 23 year old fan milk employee uses company's Gh¢7,000 sales to stake bet


Saddick Amoah, a 23-year-old sales rep at a Fan Milk depot situated at Ashaiman, a suburb of Accra, has been charged under the watchful eye of court for betting with the company funds.

Saddick, the accused, is accounted for to have spent an aggregate sum of GH¢7,000.00 from deals he made in wagering with the expectation that he would win and refund the cash from the increase he makes.

As per the depot manager, Ms. Thelma Bortey, she recognized that the said sum was missing and could not be represented while auditing their accounts. This prompted his decision to report Saddick to the police for investigation concerning the missing cash.

At the point when interrogated, the accused admitted that he utilized the GH¢7,000.00 for online betting trusting that he would win and repay before being detected. But unfortunately for him, his misfortune brought about his powerlessness to refund the cash.

Mr. Akwasi Afrifa, a Superintendent at the Ashaiman Circuit Court talked on the matter in an interview. He said "Saddick Amoah was employed by someone in a Fan Milk depot in Ashaiman as a salesperson at the depot. Anybody who comes to make some purchases, he takes the money. So from time to time, he renders account to his employer.”

“Towards the end of the month of January, his superior asked him to render account to her. Anytime they call is made to him, he hesitates to respond. The manager then decided to report to the police since he was not forthcoming,” he continued “When he was interrogated by the police, he opened up that he used the money in betting with the hope that if he wins he would refund the embezzled funds.

Unfortunately for him, he lost. The police then decided to process him for court.” "At the court, he did not admit his wrongdoing.

The court, therefore, pronounced that someone bails him of an amount of GH¢10,000.00.” Superintended Afrifa narrated.

The case has been adjourned to March 3, 2021.
