Police in the area are looking for a member of the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) at Nalerigu in the North East Region for allegedly defrauding five people.
According to allegations, Mark Akana, also known as "Apostle," stole 20,000 under the pretense of assisting their recruitment into the security services.
Police sources claim that in 2021, the suspect identified himself as the Fire Service commander with protocol spots available to recruit people for a price.
The victims were allegedly forced to mobilize 4,000 each and sent to him through a merchant mobile money account after expressing interest in the protocol recruitment.
The Staff, however, failed their pledge to deliver after collecting the money and has since disappeared.
As a result, the police have listed him as sought, and the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) in Nalerigu, where he works, has received an official complaint against him.
Today, Monday, November 21, a meeting with the regional commander of the Fire Service is anticipated between police investigators and the victims to discuss the case.
When contacted through a phone number provided by the police, Apostle Mark Akana could not deny the allegations but refused to give details of his defense and dropped the call.
He promised to call back after but never did. Several follow-up calls to his phone went unanswered.
The Regional Administrator of the Fire Service, Alhassan Yidana, said the matter was yet to come to the attention of his boss, the Regional Commander.
