The Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) has launched an investigation into an alleged extortion involving a Customs officer stationed at the Kotoka International Airport.
The investigation follows a video circulating on social media in which TikToker Lady Rev. Adwoa Pretty alleged that a Customs officer collected GH¢600 from her without issuing a receipt.
In a statement, the GRA said it had taken note of the allegations and commenced investigations to establish the facts surrounding the reported incident.
The Authority said it would update the public on the outcome of the investigation once the process is completed.
The GRA has also reaffirmed its commitment to upholding integrity, accountability and professionalism in the discharge of its mandate.
The allegation comes amid growing public scrutiny of interactions between travellers and revenue and security officials at Ghana’s entry points.
However, the GRA has not disclosed the identity of the officer involved or provided further details about the circumstances surrounding the alleged payment.
The Authority said the investigation will establish the facts before any further action or announcement is made.
