Police Deny Rumors of Secret Recruitment at Kumasi Training School

The Ghana Police Service has refuted rumors suggesting that a covert recruitment drive is taking place at the Kumasi Police Training School in the Ashanti region.

In a Facebook update on Wednesday, the police explained that a special operation was conducted in Kumasi on Monday, September 2, resulting in the arrest of 487 suspects linked to the QNET Ponzi scheme. Due to the high number of suspects, they were temporarily taken to the training school for further screening as part of the ongoing investigation.

During this period, members of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) arrived at the school, alleging a secret recruitment was underway. However, after confirming that these claims were unfounded, the NDC members left the premises.

The police have advised the public to ignore these baseless rumors and dismiss them as false.

The Ghana Police Service refutes the allegation in a viral video suggesting a secret recruitment ongoing at the Kumasi Police Training School in the Ashanti region.

On Monday 2nd September 2024, the police conducted a special operation in Kumasi where 487 suspects were arrested in connection with the QNET Ponzi scheme. Due to the large number of suspects involved, they were taken to the training school for screening as part of the investigation process.

However, while the screening was ongoing, some members of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) besieged the training school claiming they had heard of an ongoing secret recruitment at the school.

Upon realizing the claim was false and there was no such recruitment going on, they dispersed.

We, therefore, urge the public to disregard the claim of the said secret recruitment exercise and treat it with the contempt it deserves.
