In a recent development, a 24-year-old Ghanaian man, Hassan Avorgah, was apprehended by the Nima District Police Command for allegedly impersonating a police officer and unlawfully arresting a civilian. Avorgah was taken into custody on Sunday, March 17, on charges of deceiving a public officer, impersonation, and possession of police accoutrements without lawful authority.
Reports indicate that Avorgah was found dressed in a police uniform, having arrested an individual and subsequently transported them to the Holy Garden Police Station under the pretense of being a law enforcement officer.

Upon his apprehension, Avorgah was discovered to be in possession of various police accoutrements, including two cell phones, a pouch, a taser, and a set of handcuffs, while clad in a police camouflage outfit. Subsequent investigations led to a search of his residence in Berlin Bridge, Nima, where additional incriminating evidence was reportedly found.
Items such as security belts, black police uniforms, a black round hat, a blue-black cardigan, and a picture frame belonging to the suspect were among the discoveries made at his Nima residence. As the investigation unfolds, Avorgah remains in police custody, cooperating with authorities as they continue to gather evidence for further legal proceedings.
This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of upholding the integrity of law enforcement and the consequences of engaging in deceptive and unlawful behavior.
