A 45-year-old man has been arrested in Kumasi. He is accused of trying to bribe a police officer.

The incident happened after the officer stopped the man for a traffic offense. The police reported that the suspect offered money.

The amount offered was GH₵500. The man allegedly gave this money to avoid facing further action for the traffic violation.

The Ghana Police Service took the man into custody. He is expected to appear in court to face charges.

This action is seen as an attempt to obstruct justice. Authorities are reminding the public that bribery is a serious crime.

The man's court date has not yet been set.
