Ho, March 29, – A Ho High Court has heard the case of 26-year-old salesperson Nerissah Akordor and her 28-year-old barber boyfriend, Courage Addo, accused of stealing and dishonestly receiving over GH₵5 million, with additional charges of money laundering.
The accused, currently in prison custody, pleaded not guilty when they appeared before Justice Rose-Marie A. Asante. They are expected back in court on April 27, 2026.
Prosecutors allege that between January and December 2025, Akordor stole GH₵5.189 million from the proceeds of Amenuveve Sorgbor Company Limited (Guinness Depot, Ho). Addo is accused of knowingly receiving some of the stolen funds, with the couple allegedly purchasing properties, vehicles, and investing in building projects using the illicit money.
Investigations reportedly revealed that Akordor, who was promoted to manage a sales point in January 2025, bypassed accounting for closed sale sessions, amassing substantial savings in her credit union account and transferring large sums to Addo’s mobile money account.
Police seized two luxury vehicles—a Mercedes-Benz C250 and C300 4Matic—and identified multiple properties linked to the couple, including a two-unit self-contained apartment and a near-complete one-story building.
During proceedings, the accused’s lawyer requested that the court facilitate access to family-owned property where Akordor resided prior to arrest, to prevent inconvenience to other occupants. The prosecution was directed to review the matter.
