The young man has been accused of attending high profile weddings and stealing large sums of money given to the newly wedded couple as gifts.
Benjamin Essel, 19, was arrested by the police at the Accra International Conference Centre (AICC), in Ghana, where he had gone to execute his master craft at a wedding reception last Saturday.
It is alleged that Essel managed to escape with GHc10,000 from a wedding reception last September.
The wedding trickster often dresses in wedding colours and always dons a crisp suit as to fit in with the wedding party and evade suspicion.
It is understood that he poses as a family member and distributes envelopes around the wedding guests so they can give money as gifts.
Some of the guests at the Accra wedding reception happened to be at the same wedding in September and recognised him trying to carry out the same operation- they alerted the police.
Ministries Police Station confirmed the arrest of the suspect but would not give further details because his caution statement was yet to be taken.
