An Accra Circuit Court has granted a GH¢100,000.00 bail with two sureties to a marketing officer of a cement distribution company over the theft of GH¢176,693.50 belonging to his former employer.

One of the sureties of Emmanuel Osei, 34, the Court ordered, should be a public servant earning not less than GH¢2,500.00.  He has denied appropriating the amount and he was ordered by the Court to make his next appearance on January 8, 2025, for Cross-examination.

Police Chief Inspector Ebenezer Teye-Okuffo told the Court presided over by Susanna Eduful that Eugene Twumasi, the complainant, was the general manager of Clemonic Company Limited, a cement distribution company based in Accra and Kumasi.

He said Osei, the accused person, was a former employee of the said cement distribution company in Accra and the crime occurred a year and a half into being employed as one of the marketing officers of the company.
