Accra, Aug. 26, Ghanadot/GNA – The Police at Adenta in Accra have
arrested a 42-year-old man who had posed as an official of
the Bureau of National Investigations and extorted money
from some members the unsuspecting public.
Police said David Kwashiegah sometimes also claimed to be a
military officer from Burma Camp, who could assist young men
to be recruited into the Armed Forces and the Police
Service.
The District Commander of Police, Deputy Superintendent of
Police (DSP) Mr Yaw Tettegah told the Ghana News Agency that
many young people desirous of joining the military or the
Police paid between GHc500 and GHc1,000 to Kwashiegah who
later went into hiding.
DSP Tettegah said Kwashiegah also associated himself with
land guards who operated at the Japan Motors and Katamanso
areas and extorted large sums of money from people with the
promise to sell them land in the area.
Police said one of Kwashiegah’s victims saw him last
Thursday selling a parcel of land to some people at Japan
Motors area and quickly alerted the Adenta Police who
apprehended him.
Since his arrest, four other persons have lodged complaints
against him for duping them.
DSP Tettegah asked all those who have been duped by
Kwashiegah to contact the Adenta Police.
