The police officers implicated by former Northern Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Daniel Bugri Naabu, in a leaked tape on the ousting of Inspector General of Police, Dr George Akuffo Dampare, will appear before Parliament on Thursday, August 31, 2023.
This information was revealed by Chairman of the adhoc committee set up by Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, to probe the leaked audio tape, Samuel Atta Akyea in an engagement with the media.
The said officers summoned by Parliament are COP George Alex Mensah, Superintendent Asare, and Superintendent Emmanuel Gyebi.
“These are the three individuals who will appear on Thursday,” Mr Atta Akyea told Citi FM.
According to Bugri Naabu, Commander Asare threatened his life when he reached out to find out how their conversation was leaked.
Bugri Naabu said he phoned the Commander who on several occasions refused to make any comments.
“I called Mr Asare and asked him who sent the tape into the public domain, and he banged the phone on me. Then I called him again and he refused to talk to me,” Bugri Naabu is quoted to have said by Ghanaweb.
Bugri Naabu informed Parliament that he later received a message by Commander Asare from his son. Per his comments, the Commander threatened his life over the leaked audio tape.
“But rather, he sent a message through my son, that he will deal with me, he threatened me,” Bugri Naabu.
According to Bugri Naabu, he only sent the audio to President Akufo-Addo.
