Teacher in court for stealing, defrauding by false pretence 

A teacher has been brought before a court on charges of theft and defrauding by false pretenses. The accused, identified as Thomas Osei, allegedly deceived a local school administrator into handing over a substantial amount of money by falsely claiming to provide educational materials for students. According to the prosecution, Osei presented himself as an authorized supplier, convincing the administrator that the funds were needed urgently for essential supplies.

The alleged incident occurred when Osei requested payment for textbooks and other learning resources, assuring the administrator that these would enhance the school's educational offerings. However, after receiving the funds, he failed to deliver any materials. The school later discovered that they had been misled when no shipment arrived and inquiries revealed his fraudulent activities.

During the court proceedings, Osei denied the charges against him but was remanded in custody pending further investigation. The case highlights ongoing concerns about fraud within educational institutions, raising alarms about safeguarding measures against such deceptive practices in schools.
