One of the three officers indicted is COP Patrick Timbilla, Director General of Human Resource Development of the Ghana Police Service.

The Special Task Force was set up to investigate the Police recruitment scam that hit the country in February.

He said: “we have submitted our report to the Police Council which tasked the Police administration to conduct the investigations.”

“…14 individuals including COP Patrick Timbilla and two other Police officers were investigated in connection with the fraud. While having forwarded a copy to the Police Council, we are also processing a docket for onward submission to the Attorney General for advice.”
