The Ghana Police Service has denied allegations circulating in a viral video that suggest a secret recruitment exercise is taking place at the Kumasi Police Training School in the Ashanti region.
The controversy arose following a special police operation conducted on Monday, September 2, 2024, in Kumasi, where 487 suspects were arrested in connection with the QNET Ponzi scheme.
The police in a statement on Facebook on Wednesday noted that due to the large number of suspects, they were taken to the training school for screening as part of the investigation process.
It said members of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) arrived at the training school, claiming they had received information about a secret recruitment exercise.
However, the police said upon realising that no such recruitment was taking place, the NDC members dispersed.
It therefore urged the public to disregard the false claims. "We, therefore, urge the public to disregard the claim of the said secret recruitment exercise and treat it with the contempt it deserves," the statement read.
