According to Inspector Henry Nartey Tetteh, officers from the Zenu-Attadeka MTTD arrested Frimpong on September 17, 2025, after spotting him at the Zenu Star Fuel Station in full tactical police uniform with a Chief Inspector rank badge.
The Ashaiman District Court has remanded 54-year-old Kofi Boakye Frimpong into custody for allegedly impersonating a police officer in violation of Section 237 of the Criminal Offences Act, 1960 (Act 29).
Frimpong’s plea was not taken, as police continue investigations to confirm his status as a former officer.
According to Inspector Henry Nartey Tetteh, officers from the Zenu-Attadeka MTTD arrested Frimpong on September 17, 2025, after spotting him at the Zenu Star Fuel Station in full tactical police uniform with a Chief Inspector rank badge.
The officers engaged him briefly but became suspicious when he abruptly jumped onto a motorbike and ordered the rider to speed away. He was pursued, arrested, and escorted to the station.
Investigations later revealed that Frimpong was a dismissed Chief Inspector who had relocated to Ashaiman but continued parading himself as a police officer.
He has since been charged with impersonation, pending further investigations.
