Alleged recruitment scam: Court rescinds bench warrant for arrest of soldier

The Circuit Court in Accra has lifted a bench warrant for Captain Abel Nartey, accused of a GH¢136,000 recruitment scam, after he appeared in court.

Captain Nartey, who allegedly took GH¢120,000 to facilitate enlistments in various security services, was presented by high-ranking military officers following media reports.

Nartey and Clement Ayomah, another military officer, face charges of conspiracy and defrauding by false pretenses.

The court granted Nartey self-recognizance bail of GH¢100,000 and adjourned the case to July 18, while directing him to cooperate with ongoing police investigations.
