“Suspect denied the allegations and was later granted enquiry bail with instructions to report periodically,” the statement said.

Police also confirmed in the statement that the inspector has been interdicted to allow for thorough investigations into the case.

The Ashanti North Regional Police Command assured the public that investigations are ongoing and pledged to provide updates as the case develops.
