• She was given two and a half years imprisonment by a court and was asked to pay the money after her release
• The 27-year-old sat for an interview with Crime Check Foundation's Ibrahim Oppong Kwarteng to recount the unfortunate ordeal

A former mobile money operator, Gifty Tetteh, has recounted how a court handed her two and a half years imprisonment after she mistakenly sent cash above GHc3,000 (N199,440) to a client.

While sending the amount, Gifty wrongly sent GHc30,000 (N1,994,400) but found out later in the evening when she was balancing her books.

According to her, MTN subsequently confirmed that the recipient had withdrawn the money, but all efforts to get him to return the cash proved futile as he refused to answer his calls.
