A 28-year-old man is in custody after being accused of pretending to be a police officer. His name is Kojo Mensah.
The District Court in Accra heard that Mensah was seen wearing a police uniform. He allegedly used this disguise to take money from the public.
Mensah was brought before the court on May 25, 2026. The court reviewed the allegations made against him.
As a result of the charges, the court decided to remand Mensah. This means he will stay in jail while the case continues.
The Ghana Police Service has previously warned the public about individuals who try to deceive others by posing as officers.
Impersonating a police officer is a serious offense under Ghanaian law. It can lead to significant penalties if found guilty.
Investigations into Mensah's actions are expected to continue. The court will hear further details at a later date.
