Woman in court over alleged GH¢675,000 GAF recruitment scam
Patience Mbaye, a 41-year-old ward assistant, has appeared before an Accra court over an alleged recruitment scam involving the Ghana Armed Forces (GAF). Mbaye is alleged to have collected GH¢675,000 from 26 people under the pretext of securing their recruitment into the GAF. Inspector Frank Morgan Dorvi, prosecuting, told the court that Mbaye allegedly acted with Ex-Senior Warrant Officer Jeffery Naboung, who is currently at large. The two have been jointly charged with conspiracy to commit crime and three counts of defrauding by false pretences. Mbaye pleaded not guilty.
The court admitted Mbaye to bail in the sum of GH¢100,000 with three justified sureties, one of whom must be a public servant. She was also ordered to report to the case investigator every Wednesday and Friday. The case has been adjourned to July 27, 2026. The prosecution said the complainants were Fatima Adam and Abdul Malik Ali, a Prisons Officer and an okada rider, respectively. Between 2023 and 2024, Ali met Mbaye, who allegedly told him she had links to facilitate the recruitment of interested persons into the GAF. Mbaye assured Fatima that she and Naboung had assisted several people to gain recruitment into the military.
