Ascending HNN extensions of polycyclic groups have the same cohomology as their profinite completions

Assume $G$ is a polycyclic group and $ϕ:G\to G$ an endomorphism. Let $G\ast_ϕ$ be the ascending HNN extension of $G$ with respect to $ϕ$; that is, $G\ast_ϕ$ is given by the presentation $$G\ast_ϕ= < G, t \ |\ t^{-1}gt = ϕ(g)\ \{for all}\ g\in G >.$$ Furthermore, let $\hat{G\ast_ϕ}$ be the profinite completion of $G\ast_ϕ$. We prove that, for any finite discrete $\hat{G\ast_ϕ}$-module $A$, the map $H^*(\hat{G\ast_ϕ}, A)\to H^*(G\ast_ϕ,A)$ induced by the canonical map $G\ast_ϕ\to \hat{G\ast_ϕ}$ is an isomorphism.
