NIB Arrests Man Allegedly Impersonating Ghana Scholarship Secretariat

The National Investigations Bureau (NIB) has arrested a man allegedly behind a fake social media account impersonating the Ghana Scholarship Secretariat.

He is alleged to have duped unsuspecting Ghanaians of huge sums of money.

Identified as Emmanuel Ofori, the Ghana Scholarships Secretariat said his arrest was collaborative.

In a statement, the Registrar of the Secretariat, Alex Kwaku Asafo-Agyei, cautioned the public to remain vigilant and rely only on the Secretariat’s official communication channel- scholarships.gov.gh.

It directed anyone who suspects or may have fallen prey to fraudulent schemes in the name of the Secretariat to reach out through 0302907058 0302907058/0302907051 to report and submit any hard evidence that will lead to the apprehension and prosecution of the suspect.

“Let us continue working together to expose fraudsters and protect the integrity of our national scholarship system.”

Meanwhile, he emphasised that the Secretariat does not charge any fees for scholarship applications or awards.
