An appeal has been made to Mr. Peter Nanfuri, Inspector General of Police (IGP) to institute a mechanism to prevent policemen on night patrol from engaging in criminal activities.
Mr. George Domini, a garage owner at Achimota, who made the appeal through the Ghana News Agency on Thursday, said night patrol policemen duped him on two occasions.
He said around 0200 hours on Thursday, four men, three of them in police uniform and the other in a mufti, came to his garage demanding to inspect the documents of his company.
"They demanded four million cedis from me if I could not produce the documents", he said. According to him, he asked the men to give him some time to contact his brother, a soldier, who is in possession of the documents.
"As I was contacting my brother on phone, the four men hurriedly got into their car with registration number GT 4293 R and sped off.''
Mr. Domini said he recognised one of the men as a member of the group that duped his brother, Adu Arthur of 1.5 million cedis at the garage two months ago. "I am lucky they could not succeed this time and I was able to take down their car number."
The Tesano Police confirmed that Mr Domini has lodged a complaint, which is being investigated
