Prominent radio presenter Abeiku Santana has engaged in a heated verbal clash with Pizzaman CEO, Christian Boakye Yiadom, over the recent sentencing of two Pizzaman workers to five years in prison for theft. The incident has sparked a debate about appropriate punishment and the role of company leaders in managing internal theft cases.
The workers in question were found guilty of stealing 25 cartons of chicken and vegetables, which belonged to the popular pizza chain. Following their conviction, Abeiku Santana expressed his strong disapproval of the CEO’s decision to pursue court prosecution, arguing that a more appropriate course of action would have been to deduct the value of the stolen goods from their monthly salaries.
In a passionate on-air discussion on Okay FM, Abeiku Santana questioned Yiadom’s credibility as a motivational leader for the youth, stating that such severe punishment for theft does not align with the values of compassion and second chances.

“The CEO of Pizzaman cannot claim to be a mentor and inspiration to the youth if he promotes harsh punishment for his own workers,” Abeiku Santana asserted during the radio show.

Santana’s disappointment with Christian Boakye Yiadom’s response to the theft case highlights a larger societal issue regarding the treatment of employees and the appropriate measures to address workplace theft. Some argue that resorting to the legal system and imposing a prison sentence may not be the most effective method for dealing with internal theft, especially in cases where the stolen items are of relatively low value.
While it is important for companies to protect their assets and maintain a culture of trust and accountability, alternative approaches to punishment, such as financial restitution or counseling, can be explored to address the root causes of theft and rehabilitate employees.

The clash between Abeiku Santana and Christian Boakye Yiadom has ignited a broader conversation about corporate responsibility and the ethics of punitive measures within organizations. Many are now calling on company leaders to adopt more compassionate and rehabilitative strategies when dealing with internal theft cases, rather than relying solely on legal action and imprisonment.
As the debate continues, it remains to be seen whether this incident will prompt a reevaluation of the way companies handle theft cases, and whether alternative approaches will be embraced to foster a more forgiving and supportive work environment.
Pizzaman CEO Christian Boakye Yiadom has yet to respond publicly to Abeiku Santana’s criticisms, leaving the issue open for further discussion and reflection among the public and industry professionals alike.
