CCTV footage exposes Police Inspector robbing mobile money vendor in Kumasi
Damning CCTV footage circulating on social media has laid bare the alleged criminal activities of a serving Ghanaian police officer, showing Inspector Bright Appiah Dankwah in the act of robbing mobile money vendors — images that have since ignited public outrage and deepened concerns about corruption within the ranks of the Ghana Police Service.
The footage, which has spread rapidly across social media platforms, appears to capture the Asuoyeboah Police Station-based inspector carrying out the very offences he now stands accused of — a visual record that has made his case all the more difficult to contest and all the more shocking to a public that places its trust in the uniform he wore.
Inspector Dankwah’s downfall came after the Ashanti Regional Anti-Robbery Unit closed in on him following an intelligence-led operation.
A search of his residence turned up a Bruni Model 92 gas pistol, ammunition and GH¢9,835 in cash — physical evidence that, combined with the CCTV footage, paints a deeply incriminating picture.
The Ashanti Regional Police Command moved swiftly in response, confirming in a press release on Monday, May 11, that Dankwah has been interdicted pending a full investigation.
He was arraigned before the Atasemanso Circuit Court on the same day and remanded into police custody, with his next court appearance set for May 29, 2026.
The Ghana Police Service has indicated that investigations are continuing to establish the complete circumstances surrounding the case.
That a uniformed officer allegedly turned his badge into a tool for preying on the very citizens he was sworn to protect represents one of the more jarring betrayals of public trust to emerge from within the Service in recent memory.
The speed with which authorities have moved to arrest, interdict and prosecute one of their own may offer some reassurance — but for many Ghanaians watching the CCTV footage spread across their screens, the images will be difficult to forget.
