A man identified as 34 years old has been arrested by the police. This happened in the Ashanti Region.
He is accused of pretending to be a military officer. This allowed him to trick a trader.
The trader reportedly lost GH₵7,800 to the suspect. The money was given for a promised supply of mining equipment.
The Ghana Police Service has taken custody of the suspect. Investigations into the incident are ongoing.
Authorities are reminding the public to be cautious of individuals making business proposals while claiming to represent official organizations.
Impersonating a public official is a serious offense and carries legal consequences.
