A police officer identified as Clement Suputuor, who allegedly chopped off the ear of a young lady to force her to confess in police custody, has been accused of being engaged in a fraud scheme.
A foreigner named Jan Koning, said to be living in Europe, alleges that he has been defrauded of an amount of GHC600,000 by the said officer who he said was involved in a land dispute case.
Engaging Ghana Check Crimes, Jan noted that he got acquainted with Clement when he filed a complaint against one Bob, whom he had tasked to secure a plot of land, for defrauding him.
Clement, who he said pledged to ensure he saw justice, began to ask for more money in order to ensure he received his plot of land. This was about three years ago.
“We reported to the police and the officer at that time was Clement. And Clement says I’m going to assist you, justice will come for you. Clement arrested Bob. Bob made the confession that he took a lot of money from me.
“Three years went on and Clement was asking money for everything. I sent GH600, 000 or more to Clement.”
Asked why he sent such money to a law enforcer, he said Clement kept pushing him and due to his determination to get his land he hoped to build a hospital on, he gave in to the requests.
“He said if you don’t do it now. I need to pay this and the land excavation and this. Everytime, it was a new story. I cannot be there. He was pushing me.”
A complaint has formally been filed against Clement Suputuor, Jan said.
Ripping part of lady’s ear
As reported by Crime Check Ghana, the lady visited her boyfriend, who was already in police custody for theft. Upon arriving at the station, the lady was arrested and interrogated to confess what she knew concerning her boyfriend’s criminal activities.
During the process, Clement allegedly pulled her ear with a knife, tearing a part of her ear.
An animal, a satan in our midst. He probably got the job through a protocol. This is the order of the day in our country.
