Susu collector faces jail for running away with over GH¢156,000 worth of contributions

A self-styled susu collector has been arraigned before an Accra Circuit Court for allegedly misappropriating GH¢156,445 in savings entrusted to her by 35 contributors under a susu scheme she operated in Accra.

The Accra Circuit Court granted her GH¢200,000 bail with two sureties and adjourned the case to August 12, 2026, as investigations continue.

The accused, Martha Nana Esi Afful, who reportedly operated under the business name "ZOE," has been charged with 35 counts of fraudulent breach of trust after allegedly failing to refund contributions collected from members of the scheme over a three-year period.
