The Legon Police on Monday arrested two workers of the University of Ghana who allegedly took a bribe of ¢24 million from five students to secure them admissions in 2004.
George Asante and William Donkor, accounts officers of the university’s procurement office and law faculty, respectively, were arrested after a former worker of the university had reported the matter to the police.
Deputy Superintendent of Police Michael Teku, Legon District Police Commander, told the Times yesterday that a third suspect, Ben Anim, who was working with the Human Resource Department and believed to be the "Connection man", is on the run.
DSP Teku said Asante and Donkor were said to have promised to arrange admissions for students who failed to make the minimum entry requirement for the university.
The students were asked to pay ¢5 million each but one student could pay only ¢4 million, he said.
Asante allegedly admitted collecting ¢8.5 million and Donkor, ¢5 million but according to DSP Teku, both claimed that they handed over the money to Anim who was to provide the admission letters.
The two suspects have been granted police enquiry bail and are required to report to the police everyday until investigations are completed.
