He was arrested for posing as a senior military officer and attempting to book a flight from the Air Force Base in Burma Camp to Tamale, the Northern Region’s capital.
The statement released by GAF said “He also disclosed that he posed as a Senior Military Officer to enable him to defraud one Mr Abdallah Abdul Fatahu from whom he had collected an amount of Three Thousand Ghana Cedis (GH¢3,000.00) under the pretext of recruiting him into the Ghana Armed Forces,” the press release said.
“At the time of arrest, the suspect had in his possession fake military identification and business cards and other documents bearing his name.”
A follow-up searches at the two residences he sent the military police to led to the retrieval of documents including several certificates and fake GAF recruitment reports “bearing names of defrauded persons, military uniforms and accoutrements and a toy pistol”.
