Man arrested for joining Police Training School with fake KNUST certificate he made

 Sadam Sumaila, a recruit at the Pwalugu Police Training School in the Upper East Region, is allegedly under arrest by authorities there for applying for the position with a phony degree.

A man was detained after entering a police training school with a forged KNUST certificate.

The 28-year-old enrolled in the training program with the intention of becoming a police officer, but things didn't work out as planned. To enter the course, Sadam presented a fictitious credential from Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology. Until he protested about the rank he received during training, no one had any suspicions.

 

The truth was revealed to the authorities when they examined his records. His certificate was fake; it was not authentic. As a result, Sadam was taken into custody. He acknowledged that he created the fictitious certificate in 2020 when questioned.

The small town was horrified to learn of Sadam's arrest since nobody in the community could have imagined a police trainee doing such a thing.

According to a another story, a 45-year-old farmer named Abubakari Numburu was sentenced to five years in prison for threatening to kill the District Chief Executive of Chereponi in the North East Region over the phone.

After entering a guilty plea, the Northern Region's Yendi Circuit court found that his actions violated section 75 of the Criminal Offences Act 1960, Act 29. As a result, he was placed in jail.

 

The prosecution, headed by D/C/Inspector Nicodemus York, described in detail how, on November 20, 2023, Numburu, a farmer in Kwame Nansoni, had threatened Nashiru Zuwera Muda, saying, "I will kill you if you dare enter Chereponi."

The horrified complainant was unwilling to wait for the now-convicted man to take concrete steps to support his death threat. He quickly notified Chereponi police of the situation, and they helped by National Security to capture Numburu.

As a result of Numburu's admission of guilt during the questioning and his caution statement, Judge H/H Justice Francis Ayamwuni Asobayire sentenced him to five years in jail.

 

Judge Ayamwuni Asobayire based Numburu's 5-year jail sentence on Section 75 of Act 29, which reads, "Whoever threatens any other person with death, with the intent to put that person in fear of death, is guilty of a second-degree felony."This narrative emphasizes the need of upholding public safety and order by serving as a warning about the legal ramifications of uttering threats with the intention of inciting fear.
