Two Fake Police Officers Arrested in Ashaiman

Two individuals posing as police officers have been apprehended in Ashaiman for stealing a motorbike.

The incident occurred on Saturday, September 5, 2026, around 8:30 PM, when the victim noticed the two imposters riding away on his motorbike and raised an alarm.

According to the Tema Regional Police Command, Richard Demordzi Tamakloe, 35, and Godwin Agbolosu, 32, allegedly posed as law enforcement officials about two weeks earlier, during which they detained the complainant and took his motorbike, claiming they were taking it to the police station.

ASP Dede Dzakpasu, the Head of Public Relations Unit at the Command, reported that investigations led to the recovery of items including a police body armor, a taser, a pair of handcuffs, a police baton, two military caps, and two Royal motorbikes—one unregistered and the other bearing the registration number M-25-GE 5665.

The suspects were brought before the Ashaiman District Court on September 8, 2026, where they faced charges of impersonating public officers, theft, and unlawful possession of police equipment.

The court has since remanded the suspects, and officials are urging the public to remain vigilant and to promptly report anyone who unlawfully claims to be a police officer or uses police equipment without proper authority.
