Retired fire officer remanded over alleged GH¢303,200 recruitment scam  

An Accra Circuit Court has remanded a retired fire officer into custody over allegations that he defrauded 60 prospective recruits of GH¢303,200 in a fake Ghana National Fire Service recruitment scheme.

The prosecution alleged that Dorkenu subsequently issued purported appointment letters directing the applicants to report to the Ghana National Fire Service Training School on July 23, 2026.

Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Emmanuel Nyamekye, prosecuting, told the court, presided over by Mr Kwabena Kodua Obiri-Yeboah, that Dorkenu allegedly collected the money after claiming he could secure enlistment into the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) through protocol arrangements.
