A dismissed police officer has been caught pretending to be in active service.54-year-old Kofi Boakye Frimpong is currently in police custody for pretentiously acting as a police officer.
According to reports, while carrying himself as a Chief Inspector of Police still in active service, Frimpong was accosted by police officers at a duty point at Zenu Star Fuel Station. He is said to have been dressed in a tactical black long-sleeved police uniform with a chief inspector’s rank badge on September 17, 2025.
It is reported that the officers suspected him of not being a police officer, and engaged him briefly in a conversation.
During the interaction, Frimpong is alleged to have suddenly jumped onto a motorbike and instructed the rider to speed off.
His action is reported to have heightened the police officers suspicion, and after a hot chase, he was arrested and sent to the police station.
It was established, during interrogation that Frimpong is a dismissed Chief Inspector who has relocated to Ashaiman and is still wearing a police uniform holding himself out as a police officer.
Frimpong was subsequently charged with false pretence which he pleaded guilty to when he was put before the Ashaiman District Court. He reportedly pleaded for leniency.
The court, however, deferred his sentencing, remanding him into custody to reappear on October 14, 2025.
How many years does Frimpong deserve in prison?
