The Tema Regional Police Command has arrested a 32-year-old man for allegedly posing as a soldier and extorting money from unsuspecting members of the public in Ashaiman.
The suspect, identified as Bright Atsu Kudiabor, an ex-convict, was arrested by personnel of the Ghana National Fire Service, with assistance from other persons, at an area known as “I Shall Return” on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, at about 7:10 a.m.
According to the Police, Kudiabor was allegedly parading himself as a soldier and demanding money from people in the area.
He was subsequently handed over to the Ashaiman Police, where a search allegedly led to the recovery of a set of military camouflage uniform.
The suspect is currently in Police custody assisting with investigations. Police say he will be processed for court after investigations are completed.
The Tema Regional Police Command has cautioned the public to remain vigilant and report anyone who falsely presents themselves as a member of the military or another security agency in an attempt to deceive or extort money.
