A former National Service Secretariat (NSS) Boss, Alhaji Alhassan Imoro has been charged with stealing by an Accra Fast Track High Court.
[contextly_sidebar id=”4NubOSF5WWxcIg1z7nwDXP5nqpgbZyWj”]Alhaji Imoro has been accused of allegedly stealing GHc86.9 million belonging to the state and has been in the custody of the Bureau of National Investigation (BNI) for over a month.
He was earlier granted bail in the sum of GH₡90 million with three sureties, all to be justified, with property valued at more than one million Ghana cedis.
He was also asked to surrender his passport to the BNI until further notice.
In November 2014, Imoro was discharged by a Circuit Court but he was quickly re-arrested and put before the Fast Track High Court.
Prosecution said the ghost names were generated at the NSS headquarters under the supervision of the former NSS boss.
According to the prosecution, Imoro instructed that the names be added to the Payment Vouchers (PVs).
The prosecutor said the PVs were distributed to the Regional Directors of the Scheme and on receipt, they also distributed to the District Directors under their jurisdiction.
