Reports reaching Citi News from the Police Headquarters indicate that the Special investigations Taskforce set up by the Police to look into the recent recruitment scam is set to present its report today, March 20.
[contextly_sidebar id=”h8sKdLA1M1XKcuBgJrGKEKvUEm67RtHO”]The Taskforce, under the leadership and supervision of the Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Alhassan was commissioned on March 4, to expedite action into the scam and submit its report to the police by March 20.
Citi News can further confirm that the team has completed its assignment and is scheduled to present a comprehensive report to the Police administration.
We are reliably informed that the Police would speak to the report after it’s council has studied the report.
Currently the chair of the Police council, Vice President Amissah Arthur is out of the country and we understand the police administration would await his arrival and the subsequent convening of a meeting by the council to discuss the findings contained in the report.
It is recalled that on February 28, this year, over 100 men and women who turned up at various Police training institutions for recruitment, later found out they had been duped by fraudsters.
Timbilla’s indicted and accounts frozen
Subsequently, the Director General of Police Human Resource and Administration, COP Patrick Timbilla was put under house arrest in connection with the recruitment scam and his account was also frozen.
Meanwhile, the 27-year-old man who masterminded the scam, Alifa Adams, alias Cassidy or Baaba has reportedly turned himself up to the Police.
Adams, accompanied by his lawyer, flew from Kumasi to Accra, following the news report on Wednesday, March, 2015 that he had jumped bail. –
