I stole 10,000 dollars from Libya - Libya returnee recounts

A Ghanaian woman who arrived from Libya has revealed that she stole 10,000 US dollars from a Libyan she stayed with before leaving the country.

The woman, identified as Akosua Agyapomaa, who shared her experience with Ghanaian TV station, SVTV Africa said that she traveled to the North African country in her teens through the desert.

According to Mr. Agyapomaa, she was the only Ghanaian girl amongst men on that perilous desert journey to Libya.

She was lucky to have arrived safely, getting to stay with a Libyan man as a house helper, SVTV Africa reports.

Talking about the man she stayed with and her Libyan experience, she said: "He was a good man but sometimes, he will go out and leave his money in plain sight just to tempt you.

He did that for a while until one day l stole his money, and together with a male friend, we absconded to Ghana".

According to her, the money amounted to 10,000 US dollars and she agreed to share it with her male friend USD5,000 each.

She believes that her inability to use the money for something beneficial was simply because she did not use the right means in acquiring it.

''You can't steal Arab man's money and think, you will use it to do something relevant," she said.
