A 27-year-old trader, Emmanuel Kofi Asare, has accused a Crime Officer at the La Police Station of allegedly demanding a bribe of GH¢4,000 to settle his case outside the court.

According to a GHOne TV report, Asare, who has been charged with unlawful possession of narcotic plants, appeared in court on April 15, 2025, as part of the legal process.

However, he made an accusation against the Crime Officer handling the case, directly addressing the trial judge, Mrs Susanna Edufful.

Asare alleged that the officer had demanded the GH¢4,000 bribe during his arrest at La Wireless on March 24, 2025.
