Docket on Ghana Police recruitment scam to be sent to A-G

The Investigation Task Force which is investigating the police recruitment scam, is to forward the docket to the Attorney General’s Department for examination.

Superintendent Cephas Arthur of the Public Affairs Directorate of the Police Administration, told the Ghana News Agency on a telephone interview that the Attorney-General Department, will determine whether anybody or all of the people whose names are included in the docket ,are criminally liable or not,  and what charges should be placed on those found to be criminally culpable.

Mr   Mohammed Alhassan, Inspector-General of Police, set up the committee to investigate the matter after hundreds of young people fell victim to what is now believed to be fraud.

Based on the recommendations of the Deputy Commissioner of Police Bright Oduro Committee, Director-General of Police Human Resource Development, Commissioner of Police Patrick Timbilla was interdicted, and his accounts have since been frozen.

Meanwhile information available to the media indicate that Parliament’s Defence and Interior Committee, has hinted of an independent investigation if the police report is not satisfactory to them.
