Christopher Arthur, who worked as a Relationship Manager at the bank, is accused of systematically draining funds from his client's three accounts over several months — and using a significant chunk of the stolen money, reportedly GH¢600,000, to fund sports betting. According to court proceedings, the businessman opened three accounts at the bank back in 2023. Things appeared normal until January 2026, when he began noticing unusual activity and raised concerns with Arthur. It soon became clear that GH¢12 million had been quietly siphoned from his accounts. Rather than come clean immediately, Arthur allegedly went a step further — generating a forged bank statement in March 2026 to cover his tracks. The forgery, however, was detected internally, and the wall quickly came down. He eventually confessed to the theft and began making partial refunds — GH¢94,000 in cash, followed by an additional GH¢1.1 million shortly after — but those figures barely scratch the surface of what was stolen. On March 25, the victim reported the matter to police at Baatsonaa, and Arthur was arrested. During interrogation, he revealed that the theft had been going on since April 2025, and he named two individuals — Gyamfua Obaayaa and Abigail Thelma — as accomplices in the scheme. Arthur appeared in court on April 23, where he pleaded not guilty to the stealing charge and was granted bail. Investigations into the accomplices and the full extent of the missing funds are ongoing. The case raises fresh and serious questions about the integrity of internal banking systems in Ghana and the level of oversight afforded to clients who place their trust — and their money — in the hands of relationship managers.Sonnet 4.6
