According to the Police Mr. Tekpor “poses as a medical doctor with several names such as Dr. Jeff Alvin Addow, Dr. Alvin Owusu, Dr. Alvin Annan, Dr. Fiifi Owusu, Dr. Collins Amoah and Dr. Alvin Mensah to defraud people.”

The police in a statement copied citifmonline.com said Tekpor’s victims were mostly women who normally reside in Accra, Sakumono and Tema.

[contextly_sidebar id=”yoIEEGKZye3FaAZUbKVt6YkmoquzvSHP”]Faith Tekpor is currently facing trial for defrauding by personating and also under investigations for similar fraud offences.

Until his recent arrest, the police said Mr. Tekpor had jumped court bail several times and had been listed as a wanted person following received a bench warrant.

“His modus includes posing as a medical practitioner, approaches and proposes to a woman and pursues her to keep as a ‘girlfriend’ with the potential of a lasting relationship. He records his sexual encounters with the women, whether known to them or not. In the course of the relationship, he fabricates stories for the ‘girlfriends’ to lend him money with the promise to refund. When the money lent to him has become quite substantial, he begins to blackmail his victims with the recording of their sexual encounters,” the statement said.

The police however believe that a number of victims have been blackmailed by Tekpor and have thus encouraged them to report to the nearest police station or call the following lines: 18555 (MTN or Vodafone) or 0244682740/020777001.

The post Accra Police nabs serial conman who defrauds women appeared first on Citi 97.3 FM - Relevant Radio. Always.

He was arrested at a hotel in the Abuakwa South district of the Eastern Region upon a tip-off.

The suspect, according to residents have been molesting and extorting money from residents in and around Bunso junction.

Confirming the arrest to Citi News, the Kibi Municipal Police Commander DSP Mariam Osei-Adu, said the suspect arrived in the town some three months ago and told residents he was in to investigate a murder case.

DSP Osei-Adu added that the police was processing him for court.

“We got the information that the gentleman, in his early 30s was going around telling people that he is a CID officer. When he arrived at the place some three months ago and rented a place at Bunso. According to residents, he said he was a CID man and he was there purposely to investigate a murder case. I think the people in observing him clearly and from his conversation and actions, suspected that he was not a CID officer so they alerted the police. He is now in custody and we are preparing him for court.”

The police rely heavily on tip-offs and reports on suspicious characters within the community to bust imposters.

The police have struggled in the past few years to deal with persons who pose as military and police officers and molest citizens.

Some of these imposters also promise jobs and other essential services and abscond after receiving huge sums of money from their victims.
