A man has appeared in court in Accra. He is accused of pretending to be a senior police officer.
The court heard that the accused used this fake identity to ask people for bribes.
He allegedly told people he could help them avoid police attention if they paid him money.
This activity is a form of fraud and impersonation.
The court decided to give the accused bail while the case proceeds.
The Ghana Police Service advises the public to be wary of anyone claiming to be an officer and demanding money.
Official police business does not involve soliciting bribes.
The case is currently before the Accra Circuit Court.
