The Western North Regional Police Command has arrested two staff members of Sefwi Bekwai STEM Senior High School at Awaso for their alleged involvement in the theft of food items meant for students.
The suspects, identified as Bennedicta Nyamadi, a matron, and Rahel Kyeremateng, a cook, were arrested on December 23, 2025, following intelligence received by the Bibiani Anhwiaso Bekwai Municipal Chief Executive on the night of December 22, 2025.
Acting on the information, a joint team comprising police officers, the Member of Parliament for the area, and the Municipal Chief Executive proceeded to the residence of Rahel Kyeremateng at Sefwi Atronsu. A search conducted at the premises led to the recovery of large quantities of food items suspected to have been stolen from the school’s food store.
Preliminary investigations indicate that the suspects allegedly conspired to steal the items and stored them at Kyeremateng’s residence with the intention of selling them at a later date.
The items retrieved include twenty-one 50kg bags of rice, four sacks of gari, two sacks of maize, one and a half bags of millet, one bag of sugar, three bags of beans, forty large tins of tomato paste, four cartons of milk, six gallons of cooking oil, and fifty-four tins of canned mackerel. The total value of the items has not yet been determined.
During interrogation, Rahel Kyeremateng reportedly identified Bennedicta Nyamadi as the source of the food items, leading to Nyamadi’s arrest at the school premises.
Police say efforts are ongoing to locate and arrest an assistant matron, Hannah Dufie, who is alleged to have played a role in the theft but is currently on the run.
Investigations are continuing, and the suspects are expected to be processed in accordance with the law.
