A man believed to be impersonating a military officer has been arrested at 37 in Accra after he was spotted in full military uniform in the early hours of the morning.

According to eyewitnesses, the suspect was on his way to meet a nurse who was reportedly on duty rotation when security officials intercepted him for questioning.

His appearance and conduct raised suspicion, prompting authorities to demand identification and details about his service in the Ghana Armed Forces (GAF).

During interrogation, the suspect claimed he had been in the military for seven years but shockingly could not mention his rank, further deepening doubts about his authenticity.

Security personnel subsequently arrested him for further investigations to determine whether he is indeed a member of the armed forces or an impostor using the uniform for unlawful purposes.

Authorities are expected to provide more details as investigations continue.
