A 27-year-old cleaner has been sentenced to 15 years imprisonment in hard labour by a Kumasi Circuit Court for theft.
Nestol Adongo pleaded guilty for stealing a 32-inch television set, two laptop computers, eight cellular phones and digital camera valued at GH�8,700.00 in addition to a cash of GH�5,200.00, belonging to his employer.
Police Chief Inspector Sylvanus D�almeida told the court presided over by Justice Emmanuel Amoh-Yartey that the complainant, Kwadwo Oware, is a businessman and operates an electrical shop at Adum, Kumasi, whilst the convict works there as a cleaner.
