Two people have been arrested in Tamale by the Northern Regional Police. They are accused of pretending to be officials to get money from people.
The police caught the suspects during a planned operation. This sting operation aimed to stop those involved in fraudulent activities.
Authorities stated that the individuals allegedly used false identities to extort funds. The exact amount of money involved is part of the ongoing investigation.
Lawyers for the state will review the evidence. The suspects will likely face charges in court soon. These charges could include impersonation and extortion.
The Ghana Police Service is working to ensure public safety. They urge citizens to be careful of people demanding money under false pretenses. Reporting suspicious activity helps the police.
