Police warn public over fake electronic traffic violation notice
The Ghana Police Service has warned the public about a fake electronic traffic violation notice circulating on social media.
In a public notice, the Service said it has become aware of a viral message claiming to be an official traffic offence notification from the Police.
The message allegedly informs individuals that they have committed traffic offences and directs them to make payments.
However, the Police said the notice is false and did not originate from the Service.
It described the notification as fraudulent, invalid and not authorised by the Police.
The Service cautioned members of the public not to respond to or share such messages.
It warned that anyone found creating or circulating the fake notices will be arrested and prosecuted, as the act constitutes a serious offence under the law.
Meanwhile, the Police disclosed that it is working with key institutions, including the Ministry of the Interior, Ministry of Transport, National Road Safety Authority, Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority, National Insurance Commission and the Ministry of Finance to introduce an automated traffic law enforcement system.
According to the statement, the stakeholders are engaging Parliament to amend the road traffic regulations to allow for the rollout of the programme, known as Traffitech-GH, in the coming months.
The Police assured the public that it would provide updates on the initiative and urged citizens to rely only on official communication from the Service.
