The Ashaiman District Court has remanded 54-year-old Kofi Boakye Frimpong, a former police officer, into custody for impersonating a public officer. Frimpong, a dismissed chief inspector, was arrested while wearing a tactical black long-sleeved police uniform with a chief inspector’s rank badge, claiming to be an active officer.
According to Inspector Henry Nartey Tetteh, the prosecution, Frimpong was stopped by police officers at the Zenu Star Fuel Station on September 17, 2025. When questioned, Frimpong’s responses raised suspicions, prompting the officers to investigate further. He attempted to flee on a motorbike but was chased down and arrested.
