One of the witnesses in the leaked tape over the ousting of the Inspector General of Police (IGP) being probed by a Committee set up by Parliament has reiterated his innocence.
COP Alex Mensah, who was present in an in-camera hearing today over the leaked tape, engaged the press after providing his evidence to the Committee chaired by Mr Samuel Atta Akyea.
COP Alex Mensah, who in earlier testimonies informed the general public that he never made comments that suggested that he sought to remove the IGP from office, said he will be validated at the end of the investigations.
When asked what his message to Ghanaians was, the police officer said “The truth will come out”.
He made this statement after initially refusing to engage the press on the development of the case.
Although he refused to reveal striking details, he made mention that he is content with how the case has been handled. In his opinion, the committee has ensured the hearing has been fair.
“I am very very happy (with the process). Very fair hearing. Very fair. The process, everything is going on well.”
He informed the public to expect “strong evidence,” which would be made public by the committee.
“Everything is ready. I am not ready to comment on anything. I will only tell you everything is ready,” he added.
Earlier today, Minister for National Security, Albert Kan Dapaah, and former Northern Regional Chairman of the NPP, Bugri Naabu appeared before Parliament’s adhoc committee.
The two did not provide any details to the media.
Meanwhile, the seven-member committee appointed by the Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, to investigate the leaked audio involving the Anti-IGP has temporarily suspended its proceedings until Monday, October 2, 2023.
The committee’s chairman, Atta Akyea, made this announcement during a media briefing held after the session on Wednesday, September 13.
