after videos surfaced on social media platforms showing the suspect confidently dressed in what appeared to be authentic Ghana Police uniforms.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1041\" data-end=\"1055\">In the videos:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"1056\" data-end=\"1257\">\n<li data-section-id=\"loqqmb\" data-start=\"1056\" data-end=\"1110\">She was seen wearing full police camouflage attire<\/li>\n<li

of views, comments, and shares across multiple platforms.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1371\" data-end=\"1525\">Public reaction was swift and intense, with many expressing alarm over the apparent ease with which a civilian could access and wear official police gear.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1527\" data-end=\"1658\">\u201cThis is very dangerous,\u201d one social media user commented. \u201cIf anyone can
