Military officers arrest fake soldier in Bolgatanga over recruitment scam
A 29-year-old man who posed as a military officer has been arrested in Bolgatanga for allegedly defrauding individuals with the promise of recruitment into the Ghana Armed Forces.
The suspect, identified as Jeffery Solomon Darko, was apprehended by operatives from the 11 Mechanised Battalion at approximately 2:00pm on April 16.
Acting on intelligence, the operatives moved swiftly to arrest Darko after he allegedly attempted to recruit one of his victims (name withheld) under false pretenses.
According to reports, the suspect claimed to be a Warrant Officer Class One from the 3rd Infantry Battalion.

He is said to have demanded a payment of 150 US dollars or its cedi equivalent to “facilitate” the recruitment process. His victim (name withheld) reportedly paid GHC1,000 to the suspect.
Upon his arrest, Darko was found in possession of two smartphones and the GHC1,000 he had allegedly received from the victim. He has since been handed over to the Bolgatanga District Police, along with the seized items, for further investigation and possible prosecution.
The Ghana Armed Forces continues to caution the public against dealing with individuals who promise military recruitment outside of officially sanctioned channels.
Members of the public are urged to report any suspicious activity to the nearest military or police authority.

Global InfoAnalytics: Mahama’s approval rating at 67%; economic optimism slips
President John Dramani Mahama continues to enjoy strong public support, maintaining a 67% approval rating, according to a new poll by Global InfoAnalytics.
The survey released on March 25, 2026, showed that only 26% of voters disapprove of his performance, though it was a slight increase from 24% recorded in December 2025, while approval remains unchanged.
Support for President Mahama, according to the survey, spans all regions, including traditional opposition strongholds.
In the Ashanti Region, which is the stronghold of the opposition, New Patriotic Party (NPP), the poll showed that 56% of voters approve of his performance, while approval stands at 64% in the Eastern Region and 65% in the North East Region.
The poll also indicates that a majority of party affiliates back the president’s performance, except for supporters of the NPP.
In the direction of the country, 65% of respondents in the survey noted that Ghana is headed in the right direction, though there was a marginal drop from 66% in the previous quarter.
Meanwhile, 28% believe the country is on the wrong path, up from 24%, while those with no opinion declined from 10% to 7%.
Living standards appear to have improved for many Ghanaians, with 58% of voters saying their conditions are better than a year ago, compared to 16% who report a decline.
However, optimism about the future has dipped slightly. The poll found that 68% of voters expect their standard of living to improve over the next 12 months, down from 70% in the previous quarter, suggesting growing unease over potential inflationary pressures linked to the Middle East conflict.
