Woman accused of misappropriating GH₵156,445 in susu contributions granted bail

The prosecution alleged that when the contributors attempted to withdraw their savings and the promised interest in December 2025, the accused could not be reached, although she reportedly remained in contact with a few of the complainants by telephone.

According to the prosecution, in her caution statement to the police, the accused said she had relocated to Swedru in the Central Region following the death of her husband, which made it difficult for the complainants to contact her after December 2025.

The prosecution alleged that Martha, described as a self-styled susu collector formerly residing at Burma Camp, operated a business known as "ZOE" and represented to the complainants that she collected daily susu contributions, which would be held for periods ranging from one to three years before being repaid with interest.
