NSS Scandal: Attorney General Gives A Plus Option To Help With Investigation or Be Prosecuted

• Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Dr Dominic Akuritinga Ayine, shared the role A Plus is playing in their investigations of the NSS ghost names scandal
• Dr Dominic Akuritinga Ayine added that they had given the MP for Gomoa Central two options to choose from on the said matter
• Several social media users, after watching the video, shared their thoughts on the matter in the comment section of the post

The Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Dr Dominic Akuritinga Ayine, said the Member of Parliament for Gomoa Central, Kwame Asare Obeng, has two options to choose from in the National Service Scheme (NSS) ghost names saga.

Dr Dominic Ayine said Kwame Asare Obeng, popularly known as A-Plus, would have to choose between helping them in their investigations or facing prosecution.

The Attorney General said this when he addressed the media in Accra on Friday, June 13, 2025.

The Minister said that A Plus was reportedly given some money to ensure that the media did not broadcast the NSS payroll fraud. He added that the Gomoa Central MP is being interrogated by investigators.

In a video on X, Dr Dominic Ayine explained further that A Plus’ corporation, or otherwise, with the investigators will determine his fate in this matter.

“In the case of the famous A Plus, the investigation is still ongoing, and there are talks with him with respect to the role that he will play, either in respect of providing evidence against those who tried to do what is alleged to have been done, or if at the end of the day, no agreement is reached, then maybe he will have to stand trial.”

Dr Dominic Ayine clarified that they have not concluded the investigations.

“The investigators were supposed to go to Parliament and do the interrogation in Parliament, and at the last time that they made a request, they could not do the interrogation.”

The Attorney General added that the second MP implicated in the scandal, Mustafa Yussif, will face the law for his role in the NSS ghost names saga.

Mustafa Yussif is the Member of Parliament for Yagaba-Kubori and a former Minister of Sports in the erstwhile Akufo-Addo government.
