A 32-year-old former cashier of KAS Estate Ghana Limited has been arraigned before a Circuit Court for allegedly stealing GH¢5.4 million belonging to her former employer.
Ayisha Iddrisu, who worked with the company for eight years, is accused of dishonestly appropriating the funds from the company’s MTN Mobile Money (MoMo) account between September 2018 and July 2025.
Chief Executive Officer of KAS Estate Ghana Limited, Yahyah Kassim Atta, who made an official complaint about the theft to the police, indicated that Ayisha was responsible for managing the company’s Mobile Money transactions.
The alleged theft was discovered when Ayisha was due for a transfer but refused to hand over the MoMo phone, raising suspicions.
Following the complaint, she was arrested on August 12, 2025, where she was alleged to have admitted to the theft and disclosed how the money was misappropriated.
An investigation revealed that she had used some of the stolen funds to acquire landed properties in Kasoa-Nyanyanor, Amasaman-Obeyeye, Amasaman-Obom, and Awutu-Senya.
According to the prosecution, Ayisha allegedly transferred a total of GH¢5,406,118 to her personal MoMo numbers: 0240485441, 0596095474, and 0598532718.
She also allegedly made transfers totalling GH¢72,220 to other MoMo accounts, bringing the total amount stolen to GH¢5,478,338.
