A Kumasi Circuit Court heard that a 35-year-old man allegedly claimed to be a police officer. He is accused of extorting money from the public.
The man was arrested during a special police operation. This operation was designed to catch people involved in such activities.
As a result of the charges, the court has decided to keep him in police custody. This is while the investigation continues.
The Ghana Police Service initiated the sting operation that led to his arrest.
Further legal proceedings will take place to determine his guilt or innocence.
