Accra Dec. 28, -A scrap dealer
who is accused of pretending to be a Police officer at Kantamanto has appeared
before an Accra Circuit Court.
Fuseini Musuna who was charged
with falsely pretending to a public officer pleaded guilty.
According to him he told the
crowd that he could be a police officer in order to save himself from being
beaten by the mob.
The court after listening to the
explanation entered a plea of not guilty.
Musuna is also facing an
additional charge of use of narcotic drugs. The court did not take his plea in
respect of that charge because the alleged dried leaves are yet to be sent to
the Laboratory for analytical examination.
Chief Inspector Kwabena Adu who
held brief of Superintendent of Police Kweku Bempah said on December 22, this
year, at Katamanto, Musuna allegedly told two persons that he was a Police
officer and he failed to produce an identity card to that effect Musuna was
escorted to the Police at Railways and when he was searched two wrappers of
dried leaves suspected to be Inndiann hemp was found on him.
Musuna has been remanded into
Police custody by the court presided over by Mrs Abena Oppong Adjin Doku to
reappear on January 8.
