Police in Accra have arrested a known activist of the New Patriotic Party. The arrest follows allegations that he impersonated national executives of the party. He is suspected of using this deception to defraud individuals.
Authorities state that the activist allegedly pretended to hold a high position within the NPP. This allowed him to gain the trust of unsuspecting victims.
The fraudulent activities reportedly involved promises or requests made in the name of the party's leadership. Details of the victims and the total sums defrauded are part of the ongoing investigation.
The New Patriotic Party has not issued an official statement regarding the arrest of its activist.
The Ghana Police Service confirmed the arrest and stated that investigations are currently underway. They are working to gather all relevant evidence concerning the alleged impersonation and fraud.
It is unclear at this stage how long the suspect had been operating or the full extent of the alleged fraud. Police are appealing to the public for anyone with information to come forward.
This incident could potentially damage the reputation of the New Patriotic Party. The party is expected to cooperate fully with the police investigation.
The suspect will face charges once the police investigation is concluded. The outcome will depend on the evidence presented and the legal proceedings that follow.
