Police in Accra have arrested a man suspected of pretending to be a police officer. The arrest was made by the Motor Traffic and Transport Department.
The suspect was reportedly seen demanding money from drivers on the road. This led to his apprehension by the traffic police.
Authorities have confirmed the arrest. The man is currently in police custody and is being questioned.
The Ghana Police Service urges the public to report any suspicious individuals impersonating officers.
Impersonating a police officer is a serious offense. Such acts undermine public trust in law enforcement.
