According to the prosecutor of the case Chief Inspector Benson Benneh, Tei was given 28 Cartons of Maggi Shrimp Tablet, 150 cartons of Maggi Shrimp tablets, four cartons of Maggi Chicken Tablet, 40 cartons of Maggi Shrimp Fort, 30 cartons of Maggi Dedeede tablet, 40 cartons of Ideal Milk totalling GH¢60,502.00 to supply.

She reportedly distributed the goods to the respective clients and received payment, but the money was nowhere to be found as she did not make an account for the items sold.

Remi Salifu, a manager at Lift Mark Ghana Limited, where Tei worked, lodged a complaint at the Dansoman Police Station on March 26, 2020. Inspector Benson mentioned that Tei was reported to have been detained at the Odorkor Police Station.

She was, however, rearrested and put in the custody of the Dansoman Police station. The prosecution said Tei confessed that she had received the goods from her employer and sold them to customers.
