 Lawyers of Madam Patience Osafo held discussions with the management of the institution on the compensation package suitable for her, the result of which is a brand new house and an unspecified but huge amount of cash.
Midland Savings and Loans is said to have initiated the provision of a compensation package in order to avoid a civil suit against them following the assaulted meted out to her by the Police officer, Lance Corporal Frederick Amanor, who worked for the bank.
Her Lawyer Samson Lardi Anyenini revealed during Newsfile: “...To avoid a civil suit against Midlands Savings and in compensation for the punches, trauma, and embarrassment, we just closed a rather ‘generous’ deal that removes her from the kiosk to owning a brand new house and from the streets hawking toffee to a woman now with multiple bank accountsâ€.

Background
On Thursday, July 19, 2018, Patience Osafo, who had a savings account at Midland Savings and Loans went to the banking hall to plead to withdraw her GHS 270.00 savings after several failed attempts, but luck eluded her as her plea seemed not to have gone down well with a police officer at Midland Saving and Loans.
