Kumasi, Jan 22, - A man, who
posed as a senior police officer and succeeded in duping unsuspecting people of
various amount of money with the promise of getting them recruited into the
Ghana Police Service, has been nabbed.
Jerry Lumor, 32, had convinced
his victims that, he was a police officer –holding the rank of a Deputy
Superintendent.
Assistant Commissioner of Police
(ACP) Kwaku Buah, the Manhyia Divisional Commander, told journalists that he
was arrested based upon police intelligence.
He added that eight people had so
far made formal complaints to the police.
The suspect had already confessed
to investigators, taking money from the eight victims.
ACP Buah said he would be put
before court to answer charges of impersonation and defrauding by false pretences
as soon as they were done with their investigations.
He invited everybody, who had
fallen prey to the suspect to be bold and come forward.
He called for people eager to
join the police service to go through the right process - they should not pay
money to anybody.
