Unemployed Man Convicted for Stealing Samsung Galaxy A54 5G from CHRAJ Administrator
A 36-year-old unemployed man, Foster Nyarko, has been convicted for stealing a Samsung Galaxy A54 5G mobile phone belonging to a principal administrator of the Human Resource Unit of the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ).
Nyarko, who was seeking employment, visited the CHRAJ office in October last year to follow up on his job application but took advantage of an empty office to steal the mobile phone, valued at GH₵4,999.
His arrest on January 30, 2025, was linked to another theft case at the Ghana College of Physicians and Surgeons, Ridge, Accra. Police were able to identify him through Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) footage.

Appearing before the court, presided over by Basilia Adjei-Tawiah on February 6, Nyarko pleaded guilty to two charges: unlawful entry and stealing. The judge has deferred sentencing to February 27, 2025.
According to the prosecution, led by Chief Inspector Daniel Ofori Appiah, the complainant is the Principal Administrator of CHRAJ, while Nyarko is an unemployed resident of Effiekuma, Takoradi, in the Western Region.
On October 23, 2024, Nyarko visited CHRAJ’s front desk, claiming to be following up on a job application with the Human Resource Department.
“He entered the office of the complainant, located on the first floor, Room 15, but did not find her present. The accused person then made away with the complainant’s Samsung Galaxy A54 5G mobile phone from her office desk,” the prosecutor explained.
The following day, the complainant filed an official report at the Ministries Police Station in Accra.
Nyarko’s arrest in January 2025 was in connection with a separate theft at the Ghana College of Physicians and Surgeons.
“CCTV footage provided to the Ministries Police by the complainant and her witnesses revealed the image of the accused person and his movements leading to the theft of the Samsung Galaxy A54 5G mobile phone,” Chief Inspector Appiah stated.
On January 31, 2025, Nyarko was taken to the crime scene, where he admitted to stealing the mobile phone from the complainant’s office.
