The Finder newspaper is reporting that its investigations have revealed that the man at the centre of the recent sex tape scandal that rocked the Tamale Municipality, Khamil Abu Wemah, has duped the state of thousands of cedis.
While cooling off in Canada, Khamil has consistently drawn salary for the past three years as a teacher with grade GEO 188, principal superintendent non-professional staff of the Ghana Education Service (GES) posted to Farukiya MA Junior High School (JHS) in Tamale, according to the newspaper.
"However, The Finder’s investigation revealed that Khamil never stepped in the school," the newspaper reported in its August 27 edition.
His staff ID number is 856033, according to the newspaper, adding Khamil receives his salary through a bank in Tamale.
Khamil’s March 2014 pay slip which the The Finder claims it has sighted quotes Khamil's gross salary as GH¢1,358.35 and the net salary is Ghc1,081.66.
The Finder further alleged that Mr Khamil’s parents are both employees of the GES.
"The mother, a former District Chief Executive (DCE) under President John Evans Atta Mills, is a signatory to Khamil’s account.
"Some of the staff of Farukiya MA Junior High School The Finder spoke to, who pleaded anonymity, said Khamil’s pay slips still come to the school every month.
"According to them, several complaints lodged by the leadership of the school with the circuit supervisor and other senior officers of GES have not been acted upon, with the excuse that the issue is beyond their capacity" The Finder reported.
It would be recalled that Khamil has been at the centre of controversy over the alleged leaked Tamale sex tapes which have received series of condemnation from various stakeholders, including religious leaders, who in their sermons have likened his character or behaviour to a child from a dysfunctional home who has not had good parental upbringing.
The religious leaders noted that his behaviour has not only brought the name of his family into disrepute, but that of the whole community.
The ladies in the leaked tapes arc mostly nurses, university graduates and students.
Most of them are from respectable families and have had to leave town because of the psychological trauma they had to go through.
