Employee Fakes Robbery and Kidnapping to Cover Up Embezzlement

An employee has found himself on the wrong side of the law after faking robbery and kidnapping.

Benjamin Owusu, now a suspect, texted to inform his employer that he was under a robbery attack at his residence.

Officers from the Millennium City District Police visited the residence of Owusu to find blood stains in his bedroom after a complaint was filed by his employer.

His cover got blown after a test of the blood samples proved negative for human blood, and the SIM card used in sending the text message to the complainant was again used to make phone calls from a specific location at Elubo in the Western Region on September 5, 2025.

A statement by the police said he was arrested on September 24 at his hideout at Akatamanso in the Ashanti Region and confessed to his crimes.

“Upon his arrest, the suspect revealed that he intentionally killed a duck and stained his bedroom floor with its blood to stage his kidnapping because he could not account for monies in his custody belonging to his employer.”

He will be put before the Court to face justice after completion of investigations.
