He stated that the charge stems from allegations made by Nkansah that an individual paid money to secure a government-sponsored scholarship to study abroad.
“I have just left the BNI. They have formally informed me that they will arraign him before the court tomorrow, by God’s grace. Because of that, they are not granting him bail,” he said.
President John Dramani Mahama had instructed the NIB to investigate claims made by Nkansah concerning alleged irregularities in the award of overseas scholarships.
The claims were made during a discussion on Sompa 106.5 FM.
