The Tema Regional Police Command had charged him with falsely posing as a public officer and possessing a military camouflage uniform. Inspector Henry Tetteh Nartey read the charges to the accused, who did not enter a plea. The court remanded Issaka into police custody, ordering him to return on September 29 for a plea hearing.\n\nIssaka, an ex-convict, was arrested on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, at 07:00 hours in Ashaiman's \"I Shall Return\" area. Ghana National Fire Service personnel, with help from others, apprehended him as he was allegedly pretending to be a soldier and extorting money from unsuspecting individuals. A search of the accused revealed a set of military camouflage uniforms. The police urge the public to remain vigilant and report anyone falsely claiming to be a soldier or other security personnel to deceive or extort money.",
