• COP George Alex Mensah, has accused IGP George Akuffo Dampare of orchestrating the leaked tape saga
• Mensah claimed Dampare had the original recording of an alleged plot to oust the police service hierarchy
• The Parliament of Ghana has constituted a committee to probe the leaked tape and its content

The Director-General of Operations for the police, COP George Alex Mensah, has accused IGP George Akuffo Dampare of orchestrating the leaked tape saga.

In his appearance before the committee probing the matter, Mensah said Dampare was behind the recording and had the original recording that was leaked.

He made the claim when asked where the original recording was.

“My intel suggests that what was used to tape the conversation was done by the current IGP. He sent some people to do it and after which he went for it and so the tape, from my intel is with the IGP, and he caused it to be leaked and so if this committee wants the tape, then it should contact the IGP for it,” he said.
