The Ghana Police Service has interdicted seven police officers over an alleged extortion incident in Accra.
The officers, who were members of a patrol team, are alleged to have demanded money from a victim and compelled him to withdraw the money from an Automated Teller Machine (ATM) for them.
The interdicted officers have been identified as Inspector Courage Boateng, General Sergeant Stephen Addo, General Corporal Moses Anyravi, General Corporal Prosper Adiabo, General Lance Corporal Samuel Anokye, General Constable Henrietta Coleman, and General Constable Bernard Amoako.
The Ghana Police Service said the interdiction was necessary to allow the Police Professional Standards Bureau (PPSB) to conduct investigations into the allegations.
In a statement signed by the Staff Officer at the Police Public Affairs Directorate, Deputy Superintendent of Police Richmond Mensah, the Service assured the public that the matter would be thoroughly investigated.
The Police said appropriate action would be taken based on the outcome of the investigations.
The development comes as the Service continues efforts to address allegations of misconduct involving personnel and uphold professional standards within its ranks.
