Pwalugu: Police recruit arrested with forged university certificate
Suspect Sadam Sumaila was arrested when he went to demand a rightful placement after he was given a constable rank.
The police have arrested a recruit at the Police Public Safety Training School (PPSTS) in Pwalugu, for allegedly using a fake Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) certificate.
Suspect Sadam Sumaila was arrested when he went to demand a rightful placement after he was given a constable rank.
The Ghana Police Service in a news brief said the suspect was assisting investigations.
It said the suspect, who had been under training since October 2023, presented a forged degree certificate claiming to have been issued by KNUST.
The brief said he had gone to the PPSTS’ administration to complain that he provided a degree certificate but was put in constable category and requested for same to be corrected.
The administration later detected the certificate was fake and arrested him.
