Mampong (Ash), April 7, GNA – A 35-year old man, Evans Tweneboah Kodua, who posed as a Police Officer and defrauded the Kwaman Rural Bank at Ashanti Mampong has been arrested.
ASP Abdulai Iddrisu, Mampong Municipal Police Commander, who told the Ghana News Agency (GNA) at Mampong on Monday, said the suspect, who hails from Kwaman near Mampong was given away when a fraud case was reported against him as a Police Officer. He was then arrested from his hideout when investigations revealed that he was not and had never been a police officer. Tweneboah, who had earlier taken a loan from the bank as a police officer later closed his accounts and fled the town, but was arrested at a funeral at Kwamam following a tip-off. ASP Iddrisu said a search conducted on him revealed fake Identity Cards for Police and the Fire Services and a hand-cuff. Tweneboah, who in his caution statement admitted the offences, has pleaded for leniency. He would be arraigned on April 27 this year. 7 April 09
