The former Chief Executive Officer of the National Entrepreneurship and Innovation Programme, Kofi Ofosu Nkansah, is scheduled to appear in court on Thursday, February 12, 2026. This legal proceeding follows his formal charging by the National Intelligence Bureau (NIB) after a series of controversial events. The case has generated significant public interest due to the high profile of the individuals involved in the matter.
Lawyers representing Kofi Ofosu Nkansah confirmed that their client was officially charged on Wednesday after being held at an undisclosed location. The legal team had previously raised concerns regarding a breach of due process during his detention. According to his counsel, the residence of Kofi Ofosu Nkansah was searched by security operatives earlier this week without a valid warrant being presented.
The investigation into Kofi Ofosu Nkansah was initiated following a directive from President John Dramani Mahama. The President tasked the NIB to verify claims made by the former CEO regarding the alleged sale of state-funded scholarships. During a radio interview, Kofi Ofosu Nkansah alleged that certain individuals were paying up to GH¢100,000 to secure scholarships for overseas studies.
The National Intelligence Bureau is currently examining the evidence provided by Kofi Nkansah to substantiate these serious allegations. While his legal team insists that he cooperated fully and voluntarily, his subsequent hospitalisation after arrest has raised further questions. Supporters and political analysts are closely monitoring the situation as Kofi Ofosu Nkansah prepares for his first day in court.
The outcome of this case could have a major impact on how government-funded scholarship programs are managed and audited in the future. Legal experts suggest that the court will focus on the validity of the charges brought against him by the state. Tuntum Network will continue to provide professional updates as the proceedings begin on Thursday morning.
Many Ghanaians are calling for transparency and a thorough investigation into the scholarship secretariat to ensure fairness. He remains a central figure in this unfolding drama that touches on issues of accountability and governance. The hearing on February 12 will likely provide more clarity on the specific nature of the charges faced by Kofi Ofosu Nkansah.
