Military Police personnel have arrested one Rufai Abubakar for posing as a senior military officer and trying to access a military installation at Burma Camp in Accra.

The suspect, who was dressed in a military uniform, decorated with fake lieutenant colonel ranks, according to a statement from the Ghana Armed forces, claimed he was stationed at the Northern Command headquarters and was proceeding to the Air Force Base to book a flight to Tamale.

He entered the camp in a commercial vehicle and the guards on duty noticed his suspicious behavior and questioned him. After the interrogation he confessed he was not a service personnel.

At the point of his arrest the suspect had in his possession fake military identification and business cards coupled with many other documents bearing his name.

What was his motive? Why decide to play with the Army?
