According to the prosecution, Safowaa occasionally placed orders for goods in the complainant’s name but had them sent to their Weija business instead.
After running the Weija store for a while, Obeng told Safowaa that the enterprise was not succeeding as he had hoped and that he wanted it relocated to Kasoa.
The prosecution informed the court that during the year 2015, Obeng used a portion of the money made from the sale of the complainant’s items to pay GH45,000.00 for a nine-year lease on another store at Kasoa.
The pair then shut down the Weija store and moved the merchandise to the Kasoa shop.
According to the prosecution, Obeng once more utilized some of the money to purchase a Toyota Venza car with the license plate GX 1061-14 for GH45,000.00 in order to make transporting the stolen goods easier.
Additionally, Obeng spent some of the money made for a GH10,500 purchase of a McCarthy Hill land parcel.
According to the prosecution, the complainant was unaware of the theft until she noticed that her company was rapidly losing money and going into debt in 2016.
She started looking into the reasons behind her company’s falling profit margin and debt accumulation in January 2018.
She reported Safowaa and Obeng to the police when she took stock of the warehouse and store and discovered that she owed GH600,000. During questioning, they admitted the offenses in their investigation caution statement.
According to the prosecution, the complainant directed the police to the couple’s shop and pointed out items valued at GH80,000, some of which included the complainant’s name imprinted on them.
