THE New Tafo Police in the Eastern Region have mounted an intensive search for an employee of the Adonteng Rural Bank, Moses Kofi Danso, for bolting with GH¢9,800 belonging to the bank.
Danso, a native of Yeji in the Brong Ahafo Region, was said to have stolen the money from the bank’s coffers on April 17, this year, while working as a project manager of the bank.
According to Chief Inspector Christopher Tawiah, the Public Affairs Officer of the Eastern Regional Police Command, the theft was detected when the bank’s management conducted internal checks on its operations, during which they discovered certain malpractices on the part of the suspect.
The situation, he said, prompted the management of the bank to invite external auditors to audit the accounts, which found out that a total of GH¢19,800 had been stolen by the suspect.
Chief Inspector Tawiah stated that when the bank’s management confronted Danso on the theft, he refunded GH¢10,000 with the assurance that the rest of the money would be paid within two days and that was the end.
He said since June 13, 2008, Danso had not been reporting for work and his whereabouts are also unknown.
Chief Inspector Tawiah stated that the New Tafo District Magistrate’s Court had issued a bench warrant for the arrest of Danso. He appealed to members of the public to volunteer vital information that would lead to the arrest of the suspect.
