Gifty Oware, a former deputy director of the National Service Authority, is scheduled to appear in court today.
When Gifty Oware first appeared on October 22, 2025, she was granted ten million cedis in bail.
She was detained for weeks before her bail requirements were fulfilled, according to reports.
The Attorney General filed five charges against Mrs. Oware-Mensah on Monday, October 13, 2025, including money laundering, theft, and knowingly causing financial loss to the state.
On Friday, October 17, 2025, Mrs. Oware-Mensah was scheduled to make her first court appearance. However, Gary Nimako, her attorney that day, presented an excuse responsibility to back up the assertion that she is indisposed.
Justice Kocuvi-Tay expressed her displeasure at Mrs. Oware-Mensah’s absence.
In order to obtain a GHC31.5 million loan from the Agricultural Development Bank (ADB), Mrs. Oware-Mensah used her private company, Blocks of Life Consult, and generated 9,934 fake names in the NSA database, according to court documents.
According to the fact sheets, she also asserted that her company had provided national service members with goods on a hire-purchase basis. Investigators discovered, however, that no products had been given and the names were fake.
The state reportedly lost GHC38,458,248.87 as a result of the loan funds being deposited into her company’s account and then transferred to other businesses associated with her.
