According to the widow, she hid her daily sales in a hole because she did not trust the banks to keep it safe.
However, she was not lucky, as termites raided the said hole to destroy all the cash she ‘saved' there.
She explained that she has had an experience where one financial company made away with her Gh¢4,000.
This, she said, is the reason why she opted to bury her money in a hole.
