The Inspector General of Police, COP George Akuffo Dampare has been receiving praises for his show of leadership since his appointment.
The IGP who in the early hours of Friday dawn joined a police patrol team to ensure sanity on the roads has once again being spotted calmly following heavy traffic despite option to use dispatch riders and siren.
On Thursday, August 26, a Facebook user, took a snapshot of a Toyota V8 with car number GP1, signalling the official vehicle of the Police Chief in traffic, same as everyone else without a dispatch or buzzing sirens.
“This afternoon, around 2:30, on the Accra Mall – Palace Mall Road, I saw the IGP in his official vehicle without dispatch (no police motorbike ahead of him). With his driver and another policeman in the front seat, the IGP was stuck in the long traffic just like me, an ordinary citizen.
“Though there were policemen directing the flow of traffic at vantage points, he never made an attempt to prompt them of his presence in order to be treated differently. Calmly, his car drove, as I admired his patience and humility.
