Fake police arrested

Police in Konongo in the Ashanti Region have arrested Isaac Kofi Boakye who for six months has posed as a policeman with the Formed Police Unit (FPU). Boakye, who identified himself as a police Chief Inspector stationed at the FPU Headquarters, Accra, claimed he was on sick leave until his arrest. A police brief sent to the Ghana News Agency said the police retrieved a long black sleeve and camouflage police uniforms with his name 'IK Boakye', boldly embossed on them, a black police pair of boots, a pair of handcuffs, beret, a camouflage cap, two inspector and chief Inspector ranks, and two lanyards. The brief said a photograph of the suspect together with the exhibits were taken for evidential purposes. He is assisting police in investigations. Source: Ghana News Agency
