Kofi Ofosu Nkansah has been taken into custody by the National Intelligence Bureau (NIB) to assist with ongoing investigations into allegations involving the purported sale of foreign scholarship opportunities.
According to sources familiar with the development, Mr. Nkansah was apprehended after failing to honour an earlier invitation extended to him by the NIB. The invitation was reportedly issued to allow him substantiate grave claims he had publicly made concerning the alleged monetisation of foreign scholarships.
Following his refusal to comply with the invitation, the Bureau is said to have moved swiftly to secure his cooperation, placing him in custody as investigations continue. He is currently being held by the NIB to aid inquiries into the matter.
The allegations, which have generated widespread public interest and debate, centre on claims that certain foreign scholarships intended for deserving Ghanaian students were allegedly sold to the highest bidders. Security analysts caution that, if proven, such claims could significantly erode public confidence in scholarship administration and strain international educational partnerships.
As of the time of filing this report, the NIB has not issued an official statement outlining the scope or direction of the investigation. However, sources indicate that the Bureau is focused on verifying the authenticity of the allegations and identifying any individuals or institutions that may be implicated.
Mr. Nkansah’s legal status remains uncertain as investigations progress. He is expected to provide evidence to support his assertions, with legal experts noting that the outcome of the probe will largely depend on the credibility and verifiability of the information he presents.
Authorities have urged the public to remain calm and allow due process to take its full course as the NIB works to unravel the facts surrounding the matter.
Further updates will be provided as the investigation develops.
