A warehouse employee is facing trial over allegations that he secretly sold dozens of expensive Turkish doors belonging to his employer. Emmanuel Asamoah, who worked as the keeper of a warehouse located in the Cambodia area of Baatsona, appeared before the Accra Circuit Court to answer to charges of stealing.
The court, presided over by Susana Eduful, granted him bail set at GH₵100,000 with two sureties. Both sureties must be public sector workers earning at least GH₵3,000 monthly. The prosecution team has been instructed to submit all necessary disclosures by December 1, 2025.
The case involves SMS Properties Ghana, whose director lives in the Spintex area. According to the prosecution’s account, the company entrusted various styles of high-value Turkish doors to Asamoah for safe keeping and delivery to the showroom whenever required.
The situation changed when the director and another staff member conducted a stock check in late August 2025. They discovered that 66 doors — including one-and-half doors, internal doors and double external doors — had vanished. Their value was listed at GH₵398,700.
Following questions from management, the matter was reported to police, leading to Asamoah’s arrest. An apprentice who worked under him was later detained as well, but investigations showed he had no control over the warehouse and operated under Asamoah’s directions.
Police inquiries later revealed claims that Asamoah had portrayed himself to some buyers — including a key witness in the case — as someone authorized to sell the company’s products on credit while personally collecting payments through his bank and mobile money accounts. That witness is believed to have purchased 25 of the missing doors.
Further findings suggest that the remaining 42 doors were also sold privately to different individuals, without the employer’s knowledge.
While the investigation continues, Asamoah has reportedly refunded GH₵20,000 of the money believed to have come from the unauthorized sale of the doors.
