The Ghana Police Service has interdicted seven officers over an alleged extortion incident in Accra.
The officers, who were part of a patrol team, are accused of demanding money from a member of the public and allegedly forcing him to withdraw cash from an ATM for them.
The interdicted personnel are Inspector Courage Boateng, General Sergeant Stephen Addo, General Corporal Moses Anyravi, General Corporal Prosper Adiabo, General Lance Corporal Samuel Anokye, General Constable Henrietta Coleman and General Constable Bernard Amoako.
The interdiction is to allow the Police Professional Standards Bureau to conduct investigations into the allegations.
The Police Service says the matter will be thoroughly investigated and appropriate action taken based on the outcome.
