The Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Christian Tetteh Yohuno, has directed the Police Professional Standards Bureau (PPSB) to investigate allegations captured in a viral video claiming that some police personnel were involved in the unauthorised withdrawal of GH₵400,000 from the mobile money account of an agent in Kibi, Eastern Region.

According to a statement from the Ghana Police Service (GPS), the directive follows public circulation of the video which alleges that the withdrawal was carried out by officers stationed in the area.

The PPSB, which is responsible for investigating misconduct within the service, has been tasked to thoroughly examine the claims and determine the circumstances surrounding the incident.

Police authorities confirmed that the alleged victim has already been contacted and is currently assisting with the ongoing investigation.

The service assured the public that the matter is being treated with urgency and professionalism, adding that the findings of the investigation will be communicated once the process is completed.

The case has drawn significant public attention online, particularly because of the large sum involved and the serious nature of the allegations against law enforcement personnel. The police say they remain committed to transparency and accountability as the investigation proceeds.
