The Inspector General of Police (IGP), Dr. George Akuffo Dampare, on Tuesday, categorically denied that Mr. Bugri Naabu, a former Northern Regional Chairman of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) lobbied for him to be appointed to the position of IGP.
He also denied any involvement in plotting a secret recording with Bugri Naabu.
The leaked tape probe obviously has gained substantial public attention over the last few weeks when the Parliamentary Ad-Hoc Committee investigating the leaked tape began its work.
Answering questions at the Committee sitting on Tuesday, September 12, 2023 when he appeared before members, the IGP refuted the allegations that he was part of a conspiracy to secretly record conversations of the three implicated police officers – COP George Alex Mensah, Superintendent George Asare, and Superintendent Emmanuel Eric Gyebi – and Bugri Naabu.
The IGP in his signing of note reiterated his commitment to upholding the law and maintaining the integrity of the Ghana Police Service.
He expressed his willingness to cooperate fully with the ongoing investigation, vowing to provide any necessary information or assistance to uncover the truth behind the leaked tape.
