A susu collector, Martha Nana Esi Afful, has been arraigned before a court for allegedly absconding with GH¢156,455 belonging to 35 members of a susu savings group.

According to the allegations, Martha collected regular contributions from the group between 2023 and December 2025 but allegedly failed to account for the accumulated funds before going into hiding.

The complainants reportedly became suspicious after repeated attempts to contact her proved unsuccessful and they were unable to access their savings.

Following investigations, she was arrested and brought before the court to answer charges relating to the alleged misappropriation of the funds.

The court is expected to continue hearing the case as investigators work to establish the circumstances surrounding the disappearance of the money and determine the validity of the allegations made by the affected contributors.
