Ho Salesgirl Theft Case: Couple Arrested Over GH¢5.1M

The Ho Salesgirl Theft Case has taken a new turn following the arrest of a 26-year-old salesgirl, Nerissa Akodor, and her boyfriend, Courage Addo, over the alleged theft of GH¢5.1 million from her employer in Ho.

Authorities say the arrests follow investigations into suspected financial irregularities linked to the company.

Background of the suspect

According to reports, Nerissa Akodor was promoted in 2025 to a “Point Two” sales position due to her performance, earning a monthly salary of GH¢1,500.

However, concerns were raised after she exited the company earlier this year, prompting an internal review that uncovered alleged discrepancies in financial records.

Alleged financial misappropriation

Preliminary investigations suggest that the suspect may have diverted company funds over an extended period.

Authorities further allege that part of the money was transferred to her boyfriend, Courage Addo, raising questions about possible collaboration.

Investigators also cited unusual banking activity, claiming the suspect deposited up to GH¢10,000 monthly into her personal account—far exceeding her official earnings.

Assets allegedly acquired

The couple is reported to have used the suspected proceeds to acquire several high-value assets, including:

• A Mercedes-Benz C250
• A Mercedes-Benz 4MATIC
• A two-bedroom house

These acquisitions have become central to the ongoing investigation.

Legal proceedings and next steps

The Ho Salesgirl Theft Case is expected to proceed at the Ho Circuit Court, where both suspects may face charges related to theft and financial misconduct.

Authorities indicate that investigations are ongoing to determine the full extent of the alleged crime and whether additional individuals may be involved.
