Leaked audio plotting IGP’s removal: COP George Alex Mensah interdicted

Asaaseradio is reporting that the Ghana Police Service has taken the step of interdicting COP George Alex Mensah, the former Director General of the technical department, as part of an ongoing inquiry into a leaked audio recording that allegedly involved discussions about the removal of IGP Dr. George Akuffo Dampare.

According to the report, COP George Alex Mensah was formally informed of his interdiction on Wednesday, September 6, 2023.

This development comes in the wake of mounting scrutiny of the leaked audio, which has raised serious concerns about the internal affairs of the police service.

An ad hoc committee established by Parliament is currently delving into the matter, with COP George Alex Mensah, Superintendent George Asare, and the former Northern Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Daniel Bugri Naabu, at the center of the investigation.

Allegedly, these individuals convened in Naabu’s office in Osu to strategize a plan for the removal of IGP Dampare.
