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.Source: GNA
