Travel and tour agent remanded over GH¢107, 000 recruitment scam

A travel and tour agent, Clement Osei-Wusu, has been remanded in custody after being charged with allegedly defrauding a civil servant and his relatives of GH¢107,000 under the guise of securing their recruitment into Ghana's security services. According to prosecutors, Osei-Wusu promised to enlist the complainant and his relatives into the Ghana Armed Forces, Ghana Police Service, Ghana Immigration Service, and Ghana Revenue Authority.

The accused, a resident of Weija SCC, Accra, pleaded not guilty before an Accra Circuit E Court, which remanded him to appear on September 22, 2026. The complainant, a civil servant residing in the Bono Region, joined a WhatsApp group run by Osei-Wusu that promised recruitment into the security services. After paying various sums, including GH¢15,000 for the Ghana Revenue Authority and GH¢19,000 for the Ghana Armed Forces, Osei-Wusu allegedly failed to fulfil his promises and blocked the complainant's means of communication.
