A police officer, Constable Ernest Agyemang Darko, attached to the National Visibility Unit at the Police Headquarters, has been arrested for allegedly defrauding an MTN agent of GH₵14,460 on November 29, 2023. The suspect reportedly visited the MTN office and requested an amount of GH₵14,460 to be sent to various phone numbers. The MTN agent, Benjamin Tawiah, reported that the police officer instructed him to send ‘GH₵4,060, GH₵5,000, GH₵5,000, and GH₵400 to different phone numbers’. However, G/Const. Darko failed to pay the total amount after the transactions were completed. He then led the MTN Agent to the Kasoa branch of CBG, opposite the MTN Office, in an attempt to withdraw the money. However, the bank was closed, which prompted Mr Tawiah to report the incident to the Kasoa Central District Patrols team. The team apprehended G/Const. Darko, and he was taken to the Kasoa Police Station for further investigation. According to the Constable, he resorted to defrauding to settle gambling debts.
