Removing IGP Dampare Before Elections Is A Recipe For Disaster – Security Expert Warns
IGP George Akuffo Dampare
Security analyst Dr Adam Bonaa has cautioned the president against any plans to remove Inspector General of Police, Dr. George Akuffo Dampare.
Speaking to Evans Mensah on JoyNews’ PM Express, Bonaa emphasized that such a move could lead to chaos.
“Internationally, when nations are going into elections, the convention is to maintain the structure of the security service.
“Former President Trump attempted it in the United States, but it was shot down by the Senate. We are not so different, and it will create chaos, so the president must desist from it,” Dr Bonaa warned.
On Monday, July 1, the Ghana Police Service refuted media reports suggesting Dr George Akuffo Dampare had been asked to proceed on leave.
“We urge the public to disregard this fake news and treat it with the contempt it deserves,” stated Assistant Commissioner of Police Grace Ansah-Akrofi, Director of Public Affairs.
The statement reiterated that the IGP remains committed to his duty of leading the Police as mandated by President Nana Akufo-Addo.
