A 32-year-old kitchen staff of Koforidua Asokore SDA Kwasi Agyeman who alleged stole foodstuff meant for the school has been remanded into prison custody.
He has been charged with stealing and causing damage and for unlawful entry. He pleaded not guilty having admitted the offence earlier in his caution statement at the police station.
Agyemang was arrested when he attempted to smuggle quantities of food items including bags of maize, millet, sugar among others.
