Police in Kumasi have arrested a man who reportedly duped persons under the pretext that he will get them government contracts, appointment and visas.

Police said the suspect, George Kobiah, alias Nana Yaw managed to convince his victims that he was a Presidential Staffer and could therefore use his position to help them get jobs as ambassadors, military personnel, and so on.

At a news briefing in Kumasi, the Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCOP) Ken Yeboah, the Regional Commander said that the arrest of the suspect followed a tip-off.
