Regina Abanga, a secretary at the Energy Ministry and member of the Ghanaian public service, was detained after being accused of stealing more than Ghc 287,775 from the ADB Bank.
According to reports, Regina Abanga broke into the bank’s ATM network and took massive cash withdrawals.
She was detained after her offenses were revealed, charged in court, and given bail in the amount of GH250,000 with three sureties.
Regina Abanga, a single mother, is accused by the prosecution of manipulating ADB ATMs throughout the Accra metropolitan between November 2022 and June 2023 to withdraw GH287,775.47 that belonged to the bank.
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.
