based on a 3News report. Commissioner of Police (COP) Nathaniel Kofi Boakye has reportedly voiced opposition to George Akuffo Dampare's continuement as Inspector General of Police (IGP), in an unexpected turn of events for the Ghana Police Service's leadership. Good Evening Ghana host Paul Adom Otchere made the disclosure on his verified Facebook page. Following James Oppong-Boanuh's resignation on August 1, 2021, George Akuffo Dampare assumed the role of acting IGP and has since been praised for his revolutionary leadership. Dampare was formally sworn in as the substantive IGP in October 2021, and the Ghana Police Service has seen substantial adjustments during his leadership. More professionalism is linked to his leadership.
Not everyone, though, supports Dampare's ongoing leadership. Paul Adom Otchere wrote on Facebook that COP Kofi Boakye, a powerful figure in the police force, has allegedly stated that he wants Dampare to be removed. Although it was first thought that COP Boakye would support Dampare's continuance, sources indicate that he has expressed disapproval of the notion, casting doubt on the IGP's tenure going forward. We've heard that COP Kofi Boakye has the last say on whether Dampare can remain IGP, and he said no! However, why Come get the gist with us tonight! Otchere's message sparked followers' curiosity and conjecture. The current debates concerning leadership in the Ghana Police Service are made more complicated by this development.
