The National Intelligence Bureau (NIB) has detained Kwaku Ohene Gyan, the former Deputy Director of Operations at the National Service Authority (NSA), in connection with irregularities in the NSA payroll, including a ghost names scandal.
According to 3news sources within the government, authorities are also searching for Gifty Oware-Mensah, the former Deputy Executive Director of the NSA, who is currently on the run as investigations intensify.
Kwaku Ohene Gyan, popularly known as Osonoba, was picked up on Saturday evening (February 22, 2025) and is currently being held at the NIB offices.
The scandal allegedly involves the insertion of ghost names on the NSA payroll, leading to significant financial losses for the state.
Meanwhile, Gifty Oware-Mensah has gone into hiding, with authorities actively working to locate and apprehend her for questioning.
Ohene Gyan’s legal team is expected to meet with him tomorrow to discuss the case and explore legal options for his release.
This arrest comes amid a broader government crackdown on corruption, following the recent detention of Prof. Christopher Ameyaw-Akumfi, the former Chairman of the Ghana Infrastructure Investment Fund (GIIF), who was implicated in the $2 million Sky Train scandal.
With Gifty Oware-Mensah now on the run, security agencies are tightening their surveillance to track down all individuals connected to the NSA payroll fraud.
