A Ghanaian judge rebuked former NSA deputy Gifty Oware-Mensah for missing a corruption trial over a GH¢600 million fraud scheme.

A Ghanaian judge criticized the absence of former NSA Deputy Director Gifty Oware-Mensah in a high-profile corruption case involving a GH¢600 million fraud. She and former NSA Executive Director Osei Assibey Antwi face charges tied to fake national service personnel, money laundering, and theft. Prosecutors allege nearly GH¢500 million was siphoned through a fraudulent digital marketplace meant to serve service personnel. The scheme involved fake vendor transactions and diverted funds to private accounts. Some suspects have sought plea deals, but the government insists on full accountability and asset recovery.
