🧵🚨BREAKING: Banker in Hot Water Over Theft from Access Bank Ghana Lawrence Avorsey, a 31-year-old banker, is standing trial for allegedly siphoning funds from Access Bank Ghana Ltd. by manipulating transaction reversals. Here’s how it went down. 👇

Avorsey, a staff member at the bank’s Spintex branch, allegedly orchestrated the theft between May 2023 and November 2024. He funneled funds into accounts held by accomplices: Rita Kaledzi, Abigail Adjei Dzanie, and Richard Mawuli Torsu. The breakdown: • GH¢75,631.55 reversed into Rita Kaledzi’s account. • GH¢72,184.14 into Richard Mawuli Torsu’s account. • GH¢16,636.45 into Abigail Adjei Dzanie’s account. All three accomplices are currently at large.

The scheme unraveled when Access Bank detected discrepancies in Avorsey’s General Ledger reconciliations in December 2024. The bank launched an internal investigation, but Avorsey took medical leave and tried to resign (his resignation was rejected).
