Two men accused of posing as members of the Ghana Gold Board Taskforce to extort money from gold dealers have been arrested by the Western Central Regional Police Command.

According to a police statement shared on Facebook, the duo also claimed to be former military officers. A search during their arrest uncovered incriminating items, including a taser, pepper spray, handcuffs, uniforms, and GH¢500 in cash.
They were arraigned before the Tarkwa Circuit Court and have been remanded into custody while investigations continue.
