On March 18, 2024, an individual named Hassan Avorgah was apprehended by the Nima District Police Command due to allegations of deception towards a public officer, impersonation, and illegal possession of police equipment. Avorgah, aged 24, was reported to have been posing as a law enforcement officer to the public. He was taken into custody by the police on the previous day.
The suspect reportedly began to raise suspicion after he allegedly detained a civilian and escorted him to the Holy Garden Police Station. However, Avorgah struggled to offer proper identification and credible details about himself, leading to doubts about his authenticity as a police officer. This situation subsequently expedited his arrest.
Avorgah was found wearing an ensemble resembling police attire, complete with camouflage patterns that are common amongst Ghanaian law enforcement officials. He also had additional police equipment with him, like handcuffs, a taser, a portable bag, and twin mobile phones. All items were reportedly in his control without any legal authorization.
Following his arrest, the police escort Avorgah back to his Nima-residence for an in-depth search; more unlawfully possessed police paraphernalia was discovered. Security belts, black police uniforms, a circular hat, a blue-black cardigan, and a picture frame with Avorgah’s photo were all uncovered within his living quarters.
Hassan Avorgah has since been held in police custody and the process of preparing his case for court proceedings is currently underway. As it stands, the full extent of his impersonation endeavors remains undetermined.

Do you think this imposter cop was just trying to do the right thing?
This imposter cop was clearly in the wrong. Theres no excuse for impersonating a law enforcement officer. Its a dangerous and illegal act that undermines the trust and authority of real police officers. Justice should be served swiftly in this case.
I find it absurd that an imposter could get away with pretending to be a cop.
Are you serious? Imposters pretending to be cops is a serious issue that needs to be addressed. Its alarming how easily some people can deceive others. This is a matter of public safety and should not be taken lightly.
Is this a case of justice or a dangerous vigilante in action?
This situation is crazy! Can we trust anyone wearing a uniform anymore?
This situation is wild, who can we trust these days? Mind-blowing stuff!
Wow, can you believe the audacity of that imposter cop? What a wild story!
I know, right?! Total disgrace to the badge. People like that give real cops a bad name. Hope they throw the book at him. Stay safe out there, folks.
