The Ghana Police Service has uncovered a whopping GHS34,589 million from a Jasikan home after a raid.
According to reports, the hidden cash was found in the home of a local businessman, Mr. Kofi Asante.
The information gathered reveals the Police upon a tip-off by residents who noticed suspicious activities around Asante’s residence.
The Police raided his home in an early morning raid, thoroughly searching the premises.
According to the police, they discovered a hidden compartment beneath furniture and carpets in one of the rooms where the money was stashed.
“It took considerable time to locate the hidden stash, as it was expertly concealed,” one officer disclosed.
“When we finally uncovered it, we were astounded to find stacks of cash neatly packed in bags.”
Mr. Kofi Asante has since struggled to provide a credible explanation for the staggering amount.
According to him, the money is a result of his hard work over the years but has failed to present any detailed documentation or records to back his claim.
The local businessman Mr. Kofi Asante is in police custody as the Ghana Police investigate their findings.
Meanwhile, the police suspect that the money could be linked to illicit activities, including tax evasion, money laundering, or even organized crime.
The Oti Region Police Commander Superintendent Kwame Adjei, has assured the public in uncovering the truth.
He stated, “This is a serious case, and we are committed to uncovering the truth. We urge the public to come forward with any information that could aid our investigation.”
Some weeks ago, the National Security in a raid Sapeiman also uncovered a massive stash of US dollars, Gold bars and counterfeit Ghana cedi notes.
According to reports, a tip-off led security operatives to trace twelve 20ft shipping containers to a secret location in Sapeiman inside a warehouse in the Ga South Municipality.
The illicit stash was smartly hidden in wooden crates, concealed with cement and charcoal.
Reports also revealed that the warehouse raid uncovered gold bars, counterfeit Ghana cedi notes in ₵50 and ₵100 monies, as well as fake Ghana Army uniforms and boots.
