Gifty Oware-Mensah, a former Deputy Executive Director of the National Service Authority (NSA) and a current Executive Council member of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), has been detained by the National Investigation Bureau (NIB) in connection with an alleged payroll fraud scandal.
Her arrest on Friday, March 7, 2025, is part of an ongoing investigation into a ghost-name scheme that has rocked the NSA and drawn national attention.
The scandal was first uncovered by an exposé by The Fourth Estate, revealing fraudulent activities within the agency's payroll system.
Despite multiple efforts to secure her bail, Oware-Mensah remains in detention, with reports suggesting that she has since been moved from the NIB premises to an undisclosed location.
