A 35-year-old man has been arrested in Dome Faase. He is accused of pretending to be a police officer.
The man allegedly used his fake identity to extort money from members of the public. He was found with a police uniform and other items identifying him as an officer.
The Ghana Police Service did not provide further details on how many people were affected or the total amount of money taken.
The investigation into the matter is ongoing.
Impersonating a police officer is a serious offense in Ghana.
Authorities urge the public to be vigilant and report any suspicious individuals claiming to be law enforcement officers.
