Two individuals, Vicentia Appiah Antwi and Suzzy Owusu, have been apprehended by the Ghana Police Service for allegedly engaging in bribery activities involving the Computerised School Selection and Placement System (CSSPS), according to the Criminal Investigations Department Unit. The suspects are accused of collecting money ranging from GH¢9,500 to GH¢22,000 per person, depending on the senior high school they allegedly helped secure placements for.
Police sources claim that the suspects named Nana Yaw Boateng, a medical doctor in Kumasi, and Alex Asumani, also known as Lexus, as their accomplices. Following their arrest on Thursday, the two suspects were released on police enquiry bail as the investigation into their alleged offences continues. The Ministry of Education's Sector Minister, Haruna Iddrisu, received the information about the suspects' activities from twin sisters who reported the demand for bribes and provided evidence of their involvement in the scheme.
