• From: British High Commission Accra
• Published: 27 January 2015

This was published under the 2010 to 2015 Conservative and Liberal Democrat coalition government

“The British High Commission can confirm that a fake diplomatic number plate, part of the ‘100’ series assigned to our vehicles, was used fraudulently as reported in today’s Daily Guide Article, ‘Wee nabbed in Diplomatic Car’. Therefore, the vehicle seized was not a diplomatic vehicle, nor did it belong to the British High Commission.

We appreciate and commend the regional police who worked closely with our own security team to clarify this quickly”.
