During cross-examination by Agyei's lawyers, Kuffuor reiterated his surprise at the allegations against Agyei and disagreed with suggestions that she was not involved in the theft. He recounted finding his wife's jewelry box in Agyei's possession, which he believed was stolen from their home.
Kuffuor also provided details of the stolen cash, including $210,000 and $200,000 in US dollars, £300,000 in euros, and GH₵300,000 in Ghanaian cedis, among other valuables. The accused individuals, including Agyei, have denied the charges against them.
