Her story was shared on Facebook by Crime Check Ghana on Wednesday, October 15, 2025.

Nurse recounts deception from fake soldier boyfriend
According to the nurse, she was instantly attracted to Frank as it had been her dream to marry a Ghanaian soldier.
Their relationship, she claimed, blossomed over a year as she had thought she was dating a genuine member of the Ghana Armed Forces.
In the post, she recalled going to great lengths to support Frank, who reportedly polishes shoes at Burma Camp for a living, under the guise of being a soldier.
Esther said:
“I bought assorted provisions, a mosquito net, bedsheets, and other items to make him comfortable at his camp, not knowing he was a fake soldier. He deceived me.”
She further explained that Frank often spent nights with her, but usually claimed to be working at the barracks during the evenings.
This routine convinced Esther that he was indeed a soldier, but she would later find out that she had been misled.
Shoeshiner nabbed for posing as a soldier
The report disclosed that the truth began to unveil itself after Esther posted photos of him on social media as a sign of love and affection. Within a few hours, she got messages from different women claiming ‘ownership’ of the same man.
After asking some questions, they teamed up to confront the supposed soldier. Following the confrontation, they discovered that the man they knew as Frank Anaab was no military man but a shoeshiner who worked at Burma Camp.
Frank was reportedly interrogated and asked to provide his unit number and credible service details to support his claim, but he failed to do so.
The young nurse disclosed that the impostor had taken money from her under the pretence of repaying her once his salary was paid. According to the report, this was a ploy he allegedly used to defraud other unsuspecting women.
Crime Check TV further reported that Frank had been posing as a recruiter, extorting money from victims with false promises to assist them in enlisting in the army.
