Dominic Nitiwul, a former Defence Minister and Member of Parliament for Bimbilla, has fingered the fake soldier busted at 37 Military Hospital for impersonating him on social media.

The last one he did was to meet a boy at a Burma Camp. Just two weeks ago, the man came to my house. The boy is coming. I have asked him to come. When the soldiers were beating him, I sent his picture to the boy, and he confirmed that he was coming to collect his money.
About 100 people will come, because we speak the same ascent like him, he uses my name to dupe so many people”.
Meanwhile, the fake soldier has been arrested by some personnel of the Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) after attempting to impersonate a military officer.
