Anastasia Ekudi, a 40-year-old trader, was sentenced to six months in prison by the Hohoe Circuit Court for stealing an Infinix Smart 6 Plus mobile phone valued at GH₵1,200.

The theft occurred on December 14, 2023, when Ekudi visited the complainant's shop to buy soap and, after payment, stole the phone left on a table.

The complainant, suspecting Ekudi, tried calling the phone, which was answered by a mobile money merchant.

The merchant identified Ekudi as having tried to remove the SIM card from the stolen phone.

Despite Ekudi's not guilty plea, the court convicted her after a full trial.
