The woman revealed that she was the first person to take the contribution and she used the money to put up a grocery store but the business was not successful which has ran her into serious debt.

"Reality struck when I started paying the Susu because I was first to collect. I realized that the profit margin on the groceries were not enough to cover the savings amount and I can clearly say that I bit more than I could chew"

She began purchasing things for the store on credit basis until she finally ran in a Ghc40,000 debt.

"I started taking things on credit to fill up the shop again whilst I still paid for the Susu. I started robbing Peter to pay Paul and now my total debt is about Ghc40k"

The devastated woman is calling on her country men and women to help her out.
