She has been accused of being involved in the National Service Scheme’s (NSS) ghost names scandal, in which over 80,000 ghost names were present on the register receiving over Ghc 50m in payments every month.
Following the election, Oware travelled outside the country amidst the frenzy for Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL). Several social media users called for her arrest and she promised to avail herself to authorities upon her return to the country.
Oware returned earlier this week and acording to reports, she was picked up Friday. Reports allege despite attempts by her counsel to secure her bail, Oware was denied. A netizen alleged she was asked to provide the receipts for an expensive watch which she failed to do so.
Currently, it’s unclear the status of the NSS director.
Meanwhile, ORAL committee member and Ghanaian human rights lawyer Martin Kpebu has volunteered to provide counsel to Oware if the NIB violates her human rights.
” She voluntarily returned to the country. If she intended to abscond, she wouldn’t have come back. So once she is here, let’s follow due process,” Kpebu said on TV3 Saturday.
