A Police Corporal and two others have been arrested for allegedly dealing in fake currencies in Kumasi in the Ashanti region.
Corporal Eric K. Amoako from the Zongo Divisional Police, with service number 38865 is part of a team that sells fake currencies to dealers and later turn around to arrest them. They then take the fake currency from their victims and extort money from them.
A police source told Graphic Online that the three, who have been in this business for some time now, were subsequently arrested on Saturday around 2pm at the Nana Akwasi Agyeman Area at CPC in Kumasi.
This was after they had tried to play their trick on a youngman, Isaac Adusei, who raised an alarm leading to their arrest.
Police have launched investigations into the case.
