COP Dr. George Dampare Is New IGP

The Inspector General of Police, James Oppong-Boanuh has been removed by President Akufo-Addo.

There had been calls for his removal, particularly, after the attack on a bullion van and the growing insecurity concerns in the country.

In a statement signed by Eugene Arhin, the Director of Communication at the Presidency, it directed the current IGP to “embark on terminal leave with effect from August 1, pending his retirement from the Ghana Police Service on October 7.”

He has been replaced by COP Dr. George Dampare, effective Aust 1, 2021.

Dr Dampare had been the Director General in charge of Administration at the Police Service.
