Fifteen alleged impersonators, including three women, who falsified National Service posting documents have been handed over to the Central Regional Police.
Mr Kwasi Asiedu, Regional Director of the National Service Secretariat, (NSS) who told announced this at a media conference, on Wednesday, said 12 of the suspects were arrested in Cape Coast while the other three were nabbed at Agona Swedru.

Mr Asiedu said, on Friday, October 8, one Ebenezer Eyiah Mensah presented a forged appointment letter, which was detected and was subsequently handed over to the police, while nine others were nabbed on Friday, October 15.
He said one teacher who forged the letters for the alleged culprits has also been arrested while three others had been handed over to the BNI at Agona Swedru for further investigations.
He commended the police for its support.

He expressed the hope that all the perpetrators will be arrested and brought to book.
Mr Asiedu said the region was allocated 4,230 service personnel and that as at Tuesday, October 19, 2,953 had been posted.
He called on the service personnel to accept posting to wherever they are sent in order to serve the nation since after 10 months they could move to anywhere of their choice.
