Forged WASSCE results: Security recruits face dismissal, possible permanent ban

Applicants seeking to join Ghana’s security services and found to have falsified their WASSCE results could face more than dismissal, with the Interior Minister, Muntaka Mubarak Mohammed, warning that such individuals may be permanently barred from future recruitment.

The Minister disclosed that several recruits had already been dismissed from security service training institutions after verification checks revealed that the WASSCE results they submitted during the recruitment process had been forged or doctored.

The Minister also indicated that management of the various security services was considering prosecution for individuals found to have deliberately falsified their academic records.
