President John Dramani Mahama has said that he has directed that the culprits of the National Service Scandal be declared wanted and their assets frozen.

This, he said, forms part of holding the officials accountable for their stewardship.

Delivering his State of the Nation Address in Parliament on Thursday, February 27, he said ” I have directed that culprits be declared wanted and their assets frozen.”

Over the weekend, the National Intelligence Bureau (NIB) detained Yaw Danso, an Accountant at the National Service Authority (NSA), in connection with the ghost names payroll scandal that has rocked the institution.

His arrest follows that of Kwaku Ohene Gyan, the former Deputy Director of Operations at NSA, who was taken into custody on February 22, 2025. Gifty Oware-Mensah, the former Deputy Executive Director of NSA, also remains on the run as authorities intensify their search for suspects linked to the fraudulent payroll scheme.

According to 3news sources, the ghost names scandal has resulted in significant financial losses for the state, with several high-ranking officials now under investigation.

This latest arrest signalled the government’s broader crackdown on corruption, which has already led to the detention of Prof. Christopher Ameyaw-Akumfi, former Chairman of the Ghana Infrastructure Investment Fund (GIIF), in connection with the $2 million Sky Train scandal.
Yaw Danso is currently being held at the NIB offices, where investigators are questioning him about his role in the payroll fraud.
