A suspect by name Hassan Avorgah took it upon himself to apprehend an individual and transported them to the Holy Garden Police Station, masquerading as a law enforcement officer.
The Ghana Police Service, in a statement issued on Monday, March 18, announced the arrest of suspect by name Hassan Avorgah on March 17, 2024, for charges related to personation and possession of unauthorized police attire. Hassan Avorgah stands accused of deceiving a public officer, impersonation, and unlawfully possessing police gear. According to reports, Hassan Avorgah took it upon himself to apprehend an individual and transported them to the Holy Garden Police Station, masquerading as a law enforcement officer.
However, his failure to provide credible information about his purported role aroused suspicion, leading to his apprehension.
Upon his arrest, Hassan Avorgah was found dressed in a police camouflage uniform and was in possession of various police items, including handcuffs, a taser, a pouch, and two mobile phones. Subsequent investigation led the police to Hassan Avorgah's residence in Berlin Bridge, Nima, where a search uncovered additional evidence, such as security belts, black police uniforms, a black round hat, a blue-black cardigan, and a picture frame belonging to the suspect Hassan Avorgah.
The Police statement assured the public that Hassan Avorgah is currently in custody, pending further investigation into the source of the uniform. The statement reiterated the commitment of the police force to ensure that the suspect, Hassan Avorgah faces appropriate justice in the law court.
Hassan Avorgah's bold attempt to impersonate a police officer and his subsequent arrest underscore the diligence of the Ghana police force in identifying impostors and upholding public confidence. The prompt response by officers from the Nima District Police Command is not only foiled Avorgah's fraudulent scheme but also prevented potential harm to innocent civilians.
