An Accra Circuit Court has remanded a trader, Constance Gyasi Nimako, into lawful custody for allegedly stealing and laundering GH¢800,000 that was mistakenly transferred into her Ecobank account.

Nimako, also known as Maa Adwoa, is said to have spent GH¢770,500 of the amount, transferring GH¢300,000 to her mother's account at Fidelity Bank, GH¢400,000 to her personal account at GCB Bank, and withdrawing GH¢70,500 in cash.

She has been charged with stealing and money laundering, while her mother, Cecilia Gyasi, faces a charge of abetment of crime to wit money laundering.

Both accused persons pleaded not guilty to the charges.
