COP Timbillah is the Director General in charge of Police Human Resource Development.

 

Confirming the latest development on Joy FM Friday afternoon, Director General in Charge of Press and Public Affairs, Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCOP) Reverend David Nenyi Ampah-Benin said some of the people arrested over the scam have implicated Mr Timbillah.

 

According to him a special task force set up to investigate the recruitment scam recommended that Mr Timbillah should be interdicted so that he does not interfere with investigations.

 

This means that the senior police officer cannot appear in public until investigations are over and the police administration direct otherwise.

 

Police personnel are to be stationed in his house to ensure that he does not step out.

 

DCOP Ampah-Benin said even though Mr Timbillah has denied the accusations; the Task force has evidence of some text messages exchanged between him and some of the arrested persons.

 

“He is not supposed to be appear in public, he must stay in his house, he is not to be seen outside because he is a very senior officer and we are conducting this investigation pain stickily.”

 

The police said his name was under the recruitment letter that was issued to the victims and it had a signature on it and that the task force was investigating to establish if it was a genuine signature.

 

Mr Timbillah has denied that was not his signature and the investigation team are to subject it to forensic examination.

 

DCOP Ampah-Benin said the investigation team recommended that Mr Timbillah’s presence would interfere with investigations hence the administration decided to interdict him so that he may not have access to any official document so that proper investigation would conducted.
