In an unexpected twist within the Ghana Police Service, Commissioner of Police (COP) Nathaniel Kofi Boakye reportedly opposes George Akuffo Dampare’s continuation as Inspector General of Police (IGP).

Dampare, who became acting IGP in August 2021 and was later confirmed in October, has been celebrated for transforming the police service.

Yet, COP Boakye, a key figure within the force, reportedly desires a leadership change, leaving Dampare’s future uncertain.
Adom Otchere’s post hinted at intrigue: “COP Boakye may have the final say on Dampare’s fate. His answer? A NO! But why? Join us tonight!”
This internal conflict raises questions about the police service’s direction. Will Dampare retain his role, or will leadership shifts impact the service’s reforms? The nation awaits answers as tensions grow.
