An Apam District Magistrate Court, presided over by Justice Charles Wiafe, has remanded Theophilus Rockson Ankumah, 32, and Baba Amadu, alias Alhaji Mohammed, 38, currently being tried for impersonation, in police custody to reappear on 31st May 2010.
Their plea was not taken.
Prosecuting, Chief Inspector William K. Yeboah, Apam Police Station Officer, said on Friday May 21 2010, the two men were seen at Gomoa Assin in the company of Mr Samuel Pabby Kaye, a self-styled regent of Gomoa Fetteh, where a chieftaincy dispute between Opanyin Kojo Yamoah, Abuysuapanyin of Nana Abor Yamoah, Chief of the town, and Opanyin Kwame Yamoah, aka Okyere Mpanto, was being resolved.
Chief Inspector Yeboah said the accused were seen writing down the numbers of the car being used by Nana Abor Yamoah and when they were confronted they claimed to be operatives of the Bureau of National Investigation from the Castle.
He said during the confrontation, Mr Kofi Abiw and Kwame Botwey, both leaders of the Asafo Company at Gomoa Fetteh, identified the two as the people who came to Fetteh on April 16, 2010 posing as officials of BNI to solicit support from members of the Asafo Company to impose Pabby Kaye on the people as acting chief of the town.
They called the police at Apam who came and effected their arrest.
The police said when they were searched, a fictitious ID Card was found on Baba Amadu, introducing him as a worker at the Castle.
According to the police, they had received several complaints about people who claimed to be BNI operatives going about the towns in Gomoa East and West harassing and collecting monies from the people.
