Police have arrested a man for pretending to be a soldier. He allegedly used this disguise to take money from people.

The Ghana Police Service announced the arrest on Monday.

The suspect was reportedly using a fake military identification card. This card helped him convince people he was a real officer.

His actions were described as impersonation and extortion by the police.

The police are investigating the full extent of his activities.

Authorities urge the public to be cautious of individuals claiming to represent official bodies to demand money or favours.

Further details regarding the operation will be released as the investigation progresses.
