The Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) has launched an investigation into allegations that a Customs officer at Accra International Airport extorted GHC600 from a traveller without issuing an official receipt.

The probe follows a video circulating on social media in which TikToker Lady Rev. Adwoa Pretty claimed the officer collected the money from her under unclear circumstances.

In a statement, the GRA said it had noted the video and the allegations contained therein.
