According to her, these amounts were taken over an unspecified period, along with jewellery valued at $53,000.
Dapaah, visibly emotional, stated that the stolen items were acquired over a span of 30 years and held great personal significance. She also accused the suspects of taking her husband’s clothing in addition to the money and jewellery.
