A 25-year-old National Service Person accused of misappropriating GH¢303,950 from a bank customer has been granted bail by an Accra Circuit Court.
Jesper Kobina Mensah, currently unemployed, was admitted to bail in the sum of GH¢400,000 with three sureties, one to be justified.
The court further directed that he must not travel outside Ghana without prior permission and report to the Police once weekly.
The case has been adjourned to October 30, 2025.
Presenting the facts, Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Emmanuel Nyamekye stated that the complainant is Stanbic Bank Ghana Limited, represented by its Manager of Investigations.
Mensah, a resident of Nungua, was serving as a National Service Personnel when the alleged offence occurred.
On July 15, 2025, a customer of Stanbic Bank domiciled in South Africa reported unauthorised transfers totalling GH¢303,950 from his account.
According to the prosecution, the funds were transferred to MTN Mobile Money accounts bearing the names Abraham Asiedu and Stephen Eshun.
An additional GH¢163,965 was sent to another MTN number registered to Fatau Sulley.
Sulley, a cryptocurrency trader, was arrested in July 2025 and disclosed to Police that he had transacted with individuals via the Binance platform and MTN Mobile Money.
Subsequent intelligence led to Mensah’s arrest on August 28, 2025, at his residence in Nungua.
A search revealed nine mobile phones, two laptops, 108 registered Telecel SIM cards, 27 empty Telecel starter packs, 72 registered MTN SIM cards, 88 empty MTN starter packs, and other items.
During interrogation, Mensah admitted to using the implicated mobile numbers and receiving the funds.
He claimed the money was received on behalf of unidentified Chinese nationals and later converted and transferred via Binance.
Investigations remain ongoing.
