The Ghana Police Service has strongly rejected allegations of bribery circulating on social media, dismissing them as false information. These claims, originating from a social media user named Lawal Fuseini, assert that police recruits are being pressured into paying large sums of money to ensure their successful completion of training.
According to the allegations widely circulated across social media platforms, Lawal Fuseini implicated the Inspector-General of Police and accused recruits of being directed by “Chief Supt Dr WILSON ANIACE, commanding officer/Director of the Pwalugu Police Training School,” to contribute financially for various purposes, including police-branded exercise books, welfare, accoutrements, drugs, recruits’ levy, and appreciation, among other expenses.
Furthermore, Lawal Fuseini alleged that recruits were being coerced into making partial payments of these funds to participate in a purported passing-out parade scheduled for February 21, with a deadline set for February 20.
However, the Ghana Police Service has promptly denied these allegations, categorizing them as false information. The law enforcement agency has urged the public to disregard the claims and reiterated its commitment to maintaining integrity and transparency in all operations.
The swift response from the Ghana Police Service aims to address any concerns raised by the allegations and restore public trust in the institution’s commitment to fair and impartial recruitment processes. The Police Service has assured the public of its unwavering dedication to serving the nation with professionalism and integrity, promising to investigate the source of the unfounded accusations.
