According to the prosecution, on June 15, 2023, Regina made an unusual withdrawal, which led Solomon Inkoom of the ADB’s Labone branch to report it to the bank, which led to the discovery of the stolen funds.

Regina’s ATM card was blocked to stop further withdrawals when he reported it to the bank’s officials.

When the accused attempted to withdraw cash from an ATM at ADB’s Ridge branch in Accra on June 16, 2023, at 1700 hours, her card was confiscated.

When Regina proceeded to the banking area to inform management of the event, the bank’s risk team detained her and turned her over to the Ministries Police.

Regina confessed to the crime when being questioned, saying she used the funds to finance a three-story building as well as buy a Toyota Vitz with the license plate GE-3545-21.
