The suspect in a military uniform<\/strong><\/p>\n

A 29-year-old man
\nwho allegedly posed as a military officer to dupe a phone seller in Obuasi in
\nthe Ashanti Region has been arrested by police.<\/p>\n

Erasmos Kudekpe from
\nthe Volta Region also pretended to be a member of the government anti-illegal
\nmining taskforce, Operation Vanguard stationed in Obuasi.<\/p>\n

DSP Martin Assenso,
\nObuasi Municipal Police Commander, said the young man, who was arrested last
\nFriday and charged with fraud, carries multiple names.<\/p>\n

He is also known as
\nKelvin, Fredrick and Nana Owusu beside Erasmos Kudekpe and he is believed to
\nhave scammed many people.<\/p>\n

According to the
\npolice chief, the suspect told police during interrogation that he was a member
\nof the band team attached to the Operation Vanguard taskforce, which is false.<\/p>\n

DSP Assenso stated
\nthat police arrested Kudekpe following information received from a phone
\nseller, who believed he had been scammed by an offender posing as a soldier.<\/p>\n

He narrated that the
\nsuspect again claimed to be a soldier to many other residents of Obuasi and
\nonce arrested someone for an offence and handed him over to the police for
\nprosecution, but later called to let the person go for lack of interest in the
\ncase.<\/p>\n

Kudekpe had in his possession military uniforms at the time of his arrest, the police commander indicated. <\/p>\n
