Man who made cocaine claims against police arrested

The man believed to be the source of the audio clip revealing an alleged elaborate episode of criminal behavior on the part of the police has been arrested by the police.

The individual identified as Dr. Patrick Asiedu said in the widely disseminated audio tape that he had been stopped by some police officers who had attempted to extort money from him by placing illegal substances in his car.

According to police investigations thus far, the arrested guy is in fact named Patrick Asiedu, and he works as an Uber driver rather than a physician, according to a statement issued by the company on Wednesday (18 January).

“The investigations show that the entire story narrated in the audio tape is false and a total fabrication by the suspect.

Figment of imagination

According to police spokesman ACP Grace Ansah-Akrofi, “the putative military intervention and the alleged clash between the police officers and the military recounted in such dramatic detail on the audio clip are all fake and a figment of the suspect’s imagination.”

The statement said, “Equally bogus are the vivid claims of having been transported to the Narcotics Control Commission, Accra Central, and East Legon Police Stations. All assertions that fingerprints were obtained are false as well.

The suspect, Patrick Asiedu, said, however, that he had once seen something similar to what the audio tape’s subject recounted happening to one of his passengers.

“Meanwhile, in another audio tape that has come to the attention of the police, the suspect alleges to have met with the Inspector-General of Police. We wish to categorically state that this claim is also false and should be disregarded,” the statement said further.

“Investigations are still ongoing and suspect Patrick Asiedu who is currently in police custody will be brought to face justice.”
