Disregard fake Twitter account – Police

The Ghana Police Service has urged the general public to disregard a fake Twitter account bearing the name of the service.

A recent post on Twitter purported to be from the Ghana Police Service read: “Katanka sent us some weapons earlier this morning to use to protect ourselves in case the war gets to this side…”

However, in a Facebook post on Thursday, 9 January 2020, the Ghana Police Service verified it's Twitter handle as “@GhPoliceService” and indicated that “any other account purporting to be that of the Ghana Police Service on Twitter is fake.”

The Service also disclosed that: “Measures are being taken to bring” the fake account down and urged the general public to disregard stories coming from the unauthorized page.
