A man has been arrested in Kumasi for allegedly posing as a police officer.

He is accused of setting up illegal checkpoints on the road. The man reportedly demanded money from drivers passing through these checkpoints.

The Ghana Police Service apprehended the suspect. This action followed reports of his fraudulent activities.

Authorities are investigating the case further. They aim to confirm the extent of the extortion.

The arrest serves as a warning against impersonation. Such acts undermine public trust in law enforcement.
