The Ghana Police Service has urged the public to disregard claims that a secret recruitment is ongoing at the Kumasi Police Training School in the Ashanti region.

It clarified in a Facebook post on Wednesday that it conducted a special operation in Kumasi where 487 suspects were arrested in connection with the QNET Ponzi scheme on Monday, September 2 but due to the large number of suspects involved, it took them to the training school for screening as part of the investigation process.

“However, while the screening was ongoing, some members of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) besieged the training school claiming they had heard of an ongoing secret recruitment at the school,” it added.

The police said that upon realising the claim was false and there was no such recruitment going on, the NDC members dispersed.

“We, therefore, urge the public to disregard the claim of the said secret recruitment exercise and treat it with the contempt it deserves,” it added.
