Parliament receives committee report on leaked IGP audio

The ad hoc committee established by Speaker of Parliament Alban Bagbin to investigate the leaked audio discussing the alleged plot to remove Inspector General of Police Dr. George Akuffo Dampare has submitted its report to Parliament.

Chaired by Abuakwa South MP Samuel Atta Akyea, the committee was assigned to probe the audio in which senior police officers were heard conversing with former Northern Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Bugri Naabu about plans to oust the IGP. The officers in the recording suggested that the IGP was too professional and not easily compromised.

The committee’s report was officially presented to Parliament on Tuesday, June 18.

The Clerk of Parliament announced, “The report of the Special Committee of Inquiry into the contents of a leaked audio tape of a high-ranking police officer and others in an alleged conspiracy to remove the current Inspector General of Police, Dr. George Akuffo Dampare, and related matters has been duly presented.”
