In a shocking turn of events, a 25-year-old church secretary, Hayford Kofi Baah, has been arrested for stealing GHS 300,000 from church funds.
According to police investigations, the money was used to sponsor his gay partner, Douglas Agyenim Boateng for his tertiary education and travel expenses to Canada.
Hayford who also happens to be a married man was entrusted with the financial affairs of the church.
However, discrepancies in the church’s accounts raised suspicions which led to an internal audit that uncovered the massive financial loss.
The audit revealed that over GHS 300,000 had been misappropriated over some time.
Further investigations indicated that the funds were used to finance Douglas’s education at a Canadian university and to cover his travel expenses.
