The Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT) has taken George Aggudey, Managing Director of Gocrest Security Company Ltd, to court for allegedly failing to submit social security contribution reports for his workers.

According to SSNIT documents, Aggudey, a former presidential candidate of the Convention People’s Party (CPP), did not file the required contribution reports between November 2024 and August 2025.

He is also accused of failing to provide records on staff appointments, attendance, wages and contributions despite repeated requests.

The documents, signed by Fred Antwi Boasiako, Prosecutor at SSNIT’s Adabraka branch, were posted on the noticeboard of a District Court in Accra on November 17, 2025.

SSNIT stated that Gocrest Security Company Ltd, registered under Ghanaian law with employer number 199501568, is covered by the Basic National Social Security Scheme under the National Pensions Act, 2008 (Act 766).

It said the company and its MD violated Sections 83(1)(d)(f) and 63(7) of Act 766, as amended by Act 883, by failing to submit the mandated contribution reports and supporting documents.

After several unsuccessful attempts to serve Aggudey personally, the prosecutor applied for substituted service. The District Court, presided over by Nancy A. Adade, granted the request and ordered that copies of the criminal summons, hearing notice and order be posted on the court’s noticeboard and delivered via Aggudey’s WhatsApp number, if available.

The case has been scheduled for hearing on November 22, 2025.
