Adofowaa Faustina, an SHS graduate said she did not think twice when Airborne made demand of Five Thousand Ghana cedis (GH¢ 5000.00) as upfront payment to be recruited into the service.
She said she hurriedly took ‘a loan’ from a market association she belongs to, in order to fulfill her long-cherished dream of joining the Ghana Police Service.
Adofowaa said she was more convinced she was going to be recruited into the service when Airborne she was made to fill some forms.
According to her, Airborne had since then been postponing the date she would be called for training but did not loose hope and went ahead to buy the items needed for her training.
“After enquiring from some of my friends what I needed for training, I looked for money from somewhere else to buy T-shirts, chop box and a mattress because I did not have any savings again. I was prepared for training,” she said.
She said Airborne later introduced her to another officer he claimed was from the ‘protocol department of the police service’, to free himself from the torment he gets from her phone calls.
The man, she said, also tried to extort Eight Thousand Ghana cedis from her after demanding the money to fast track the process that would enable her to get a call up for training.
However, efforts by the Crime Check Foundation (CCF) to help her retrieve her money, Airborne has been adamant to cooperate even to speak on the matter.
