Douglas Twumasi, 25, and Emmanuel Ohene Amankwah, 27, will each spend eight and seven years in prison, respectively.
They admitted guilt to the charge of conspiring to steal, among other crimes.
Chief Inspector Joseph Damfei, the prosecution, informed the court that the first defendant is the manager of Ready Oil’s Kwabeng branch, while the second is a gasoline station attendant.
CEO of Ready Oil Limited Samuel Kwaku Owusu-Manu is the complainant in the lawsuit.
He claimed that after traveling back from Accra to Kwabeng on May 20, 2022, at around 10:20 p.m., he saw someone siphoning fuel into a tipper truck at his station in Kwabeng.
The first convict was greeted by Mr. Owusu-Manu, but the tipper truck driver fled when he saw him.
After the court proceedings, Samuel Kwaku Owusu-Manu, the CEO of Ready Oil Limited, bemoaned how most Ghanaian firms are struggling as a result of employee theft.
He claims that the change has either deterred many more people from making local investments or caused existing enterprises to fail.
