The Kumasi Police in collaboration with the Bureau of National Investigations (BNI) have arrested two people suspected to be printing and distributing certificates of the University of Cape Coast (UCC).
The two who are on remand are Andrews Nkansa and Evans Akwasi Duah, also called Tweneboa Kodua Evans.
Briefing newsmen on the arrest, Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCOP) Frank Adu-Poku, Ashanti Regional Police Commander, said the police were able to arrest Nkansa on Tuesday, January 26 at Juaben in the Ejisu-Juaben district and he led the police to arrest Evans at Ashtown in Kumasi the following day.
The Regional Commander said when their rooms were searched, the UCC Certificates suspected to be a fake were found.
He said Nkansa aged 33 and a pastor at the God is Wonderful Church, hails from Asotwe in the Ejisu-juaben district
DCOP Adu-Poku said when Nkansa was interrogated he told the police that he was introduced to Evans by one James who is now in Europe.
Nkansa said Evans was able to provide him with a Diploma in basic Education Certificate from the University, but could not use it for fear of being caught and subsequently introduced four people to Evans for the purpose of acquiring UCC Certificates.
Nkansa said people paid between 2.5 million cedis to three million cedis for a Certificate and that people from Effiduase, Dadease and Ntunkumso all in the Sekyere East district of Ashanti became interested.
He said that at the time of their arrest, a certificate was ready to be collected by the owner.
The DCOP said in the case of Evans who is suspected to be the kingpin of the deal said he was a teacher at the Adventist Girls' Secondary School at Ntonso and attended UCC where he obtained a Bachelor of Education in science in 2003.
Evans also claimed to be a product of the Winneba Police Training Depot and passed out in 1986 and from there he was posted to Kibi in the Eastern Region but later deserted the Service in pursuit of higher education.
Evans who admitted having signed his certificate was found with two fake police identity cards and a framed picture of him in police uniform at the time of his arrest.
Also found on him were 20 result slips of prospective people for the Certificates.
Mr Adu-Poku said the police were investigating the case.
