On Monday, August 28, 2023, Bugri Naabu appeared before the committee assembled by the speaker of parliament to respond to inquiries regarding the widely circulated audio in which he was speaking with a few police commissioners.
He had previously stated that he and two other senior Police officers—Commander Asare and COP Mensah—were involved in the audio conversation that had been leaked.
The conversation, according to Bugri Naabu, took place in his office, which is located in Osu close to the Osu Police Station.
He disclosed that the two senior officers approached him with the intention of pushing for the IGP’s dismissal.
The officers’ explanation for this request was that Dr. George Akuffo Dampare’s actions were thought to be more closely aligned with those of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), which could potentially harm the NPP’s chances of winning the upcoming general elections in 2024.
He claimed to have hired a person to record the conversation on the tape that was leaked and allegedly contained information about a plot to have Dr. George Akufo-Dampare, the Inspector General of Police, removed.
Bugri Naabu said during a Monday appearance before the Parliamentary Ad-Hoc Committee looking into the audio leak: “I didn’t do it myself but I requested somebody who knows how to do the recording to come and do it for me. I didn’t use a phone I went to the mall and got this ordinary tape.”
Because the topics being discussed were so important, Mr. Naabu explained that he had to record the conversation with the three senior police officers in order to have documentation to show the president.
