Meanwhile, an interview by Kofi TV with some traders at the Kwame Nkrumah Circle in Accra has revealed more details about Avorgah who was said to be operating as an officer around the area.

According to some traders, the suspect, for close to a decade, worked as a security guard at the Circle Mall but left sometime in 2020 and later returned as a police officer.

According to the traders, the conduct of the suspect coupled with some videos and pictures of himself undergoing police training and working with other police officers convinced them that he was a true police officer.
