@Views09 – So she had 1 million dollars and a whole lot of money stashed in her wardrobe that if the househelp wasn’t caught red handed she wouldn’t have known she had been stealing for 1 year It’s crazy bro it’s crazy herr Ghana
@PhillyMonae – So the one with the unexplained obscene amount in her house ain’t facing charges
@jamestigerrr – It’s only in Ghana that only two thieves will face charges while the owner herself who is the bigger thief will be pressing. How do you have 1 million dollars and 300,000 euros at home? Thieves paraded as politicians and ministers !!!
@jake_ami2 – They are part of the the reason the CEDI keeps depreciating. Hoarding millions of dollars in your rooms through corupt & dubius means? Only God can tell the number of dollars her corrupt counterparts are keeping for themselves in their various houses. Shameless woman!
