Assibey Antwi, Gifty Oware to Face Court Today Over Multi-Million Cedi Ghost Names Scandal
Former Executive Director of the National Service Authority (NSA), Osei Assibey Antwi, and his deputy, Gifty Oware, are expected to appear before court today, Friday, October 17, 2025, to answer charges of alleged financial misconduct involving several millions of cedis.
Mr Assibey Antwi faces 14 counts, including causing financial loss to the state, stealing, and money laundering. The charges are based on sections 179A(1) and 124(1) of the Criminal Offences Act, 1960 (Act 29), and section 1(2)(c) of the Anti-Money Laundering Act, 2020 (Act 1044).
According to prosecutors, the former NSS boss allegedly approved payments to more than 60,000 ghost national service personnel, leading to significant financial losses to the state between August 2021 and February 2025.

His deputy, Gifty Oware, is also facing multiple charges, including stealing, money laundering, and abuse of office.
The Attorney-General’s Department alleges that she misappropriated about GH¢38.46 million between February 2022 and March 2024 while overseeing finance, audit, and procurement at the Authority.
Prosecutors say Ms Oware dishonestly transferred GH¢31.5 million from a loan facility intended to support national service personnel into the account of her private company, Blocks of Life Consult, under the guise of supplying goods through a hire-purchase arrangement.
