The Ghana Police Service has warned the public about a fake recruitment exercise following the widespread circulation of false claims on social media.
A statement signed by Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Grace Ansah-Akrofi described the claims as false and urged the public to disregard them.
“The attention of the Ghana Police Service has been drawn to information circulating on various social media platforms regarding an ongoing recruitment exercise. The Police Administration wishes to categorically state that this information is false,” the statement noted.
The statement emphasised that any genuine recruitment exercise will be advertised through the Service’s official communication channels.
“The Service has not announced any new recruitment exercise. Any recruitment exercise will be duly advertised through the official communication channels of the Service, including the official website, verified social media platforms, and the national dailies,” it added.
The Police, therefore, advised the public to refrain from engaging with individuals or groups who promise recruitment opportunities in exchange for money.
Urging the public to report suspicious activities, the Service assured that investigations have begun into these scams, with the aim of arresting and prosecuting culprits.
“The Ghana Police Service assures the public that it is actively investigating these fraudulent activities, and persons found to be involved in such illegal schemes will be arrested and prosecuted in accordance with the law,” the statement concluded.
