Former Northern Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has come out playing double game in the leaked audio recording, involving some senior police officers discussing a plot to remove the Inspector General of Police (IGP), George Akuffo Dampare.
Daniel Bugri Naabu had confessed to secretly taping the meeting and handing the audio to the President, Nana Akufo-Addo, to have him appreciate what the police officers were saying about the IGP as working for the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) and its presidential candidate, John Dramani Mahama, but he (Naabu) called Commander Asare, one of the officers taped by him to enquire from him, how the tape got into the media to be played on radio.
According to the NPP stalwart, Commander Asare rather threatened to deal with him and hung up the phone on him.
Bugri Naabu, revealed that the only person he gave the tape of a recording he made during his meeting with some senior police officers, including Commander Asare, was President Nana Akufo-Addo; insisting that he did not leak the tape.
He added that he made this move to protect the NPP from losing the 2024 elections unfairly if indeed, IGP Dampare is a member of the NDC.
He was happy about the NPP winning the Kumawu by-election, but was unhappy about the NDC’s victory at the Assin North by-election, saying that he had by now come to believe the IGP was indeed, working for the opposition party.
