Seven people who sold prepaid credit and three people who used to work for the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) have been charged with theft, laundering money, and selling prepaid credit without keeping track of it.
According to the evidence presented in court, the first defendant, Ali Nansi Shaibu, was a computer programmer in the ICT department at ECG’s headquarters who plotted with the other defendants to sell prepaid credits and divide the revenues without keeping proper records.
The two additional ECG officers engaged in the case are Grace Gardener, a cashier at the ECG Kasoa branch, and Anthony Quaye, a technician at the ECG Kasoa branch.
The fourth suspect, identified as Ibrahim Baba Adams, is a technician at Ghana Electrometer Company, a private company hired by ECG to distribute prepaid credit.
The remaining six are independent prepaid ECG suppliers. With the money from their crimes, the first accused person bought a Toyota Highlander Station Wagon, an unregistered Mercedes Benz saloon car, and two properties in Amasaman and Kumasi’s Bohyen intersection. This led to charges of money laundering. The accused admitted to the crime, and they have since given back GH282,600, according to the prosecution.
