Five persons have been put before an Accra High Court for allegedly stealing fuel worth GH¢834,300 belonging to A-Bek Company Limited.

Four of the accused persons—Bashiru Mohammed, Isaac Donkor (both drivers), Abdellah Dauda (a driver's mate), and Yaw Gerald (a transporter and businessman)—were present in court.

The court presided over by Justice Kizita Naa Koowa Quarshie, issued a bench warrant for the arrest of Alhaji Iddrisu, the first accused person, who is also a driver, for failing to attend court.

Despite the presence of counsel for Iddrisu, the court proceeded to issue the bench warrant.

Two of their accomplices, identified as "One Alhaji" and Kofi Adu, are said to be at large.

The accused persons, except Yaw Gerald, allegedly met in Kasse, near Ahodwo in the Ashanti Region, and conspired to sell diesel to Gerald instead of delivering it to the BOST Depot at Buipe.
