The senior police officer whose voice has been captured on a secret recording pushing for the removal of Dr George Akuffo Dampare as the Inspector General of Police (IGP) has alleged that the IGP masterminded the recording.

COP George Alex Mensah said his sources tell him that the IGP planned the recording that captured his voice and also planned its release to the public.

“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.

The leaked tape is not the full recording

The chairman of the committee had asked about the whereabouts of the full recording and whether COP Mensah had it since he had said many times in his testimony that the recording had been doctored.

That was when COP Mensah said the IGP would be the right person to contact.

"He caused it to be leaked and so if this committee wants the tape, the right person to call before this committee is the Inspector-General of Police,” he said.

IGP is expected to be invited by the committee soon

Meanwhile, YEN.com.gh has reported in a separate story that the vice chair of the committee James Agalga has said it has become imperative to invite the IGP to the committee.

Agalga said the allegations against IGP George Akufo Dampare by COP Mensah were serious.

He explained further that the IGP's testimony would foster the aim of the committee which was to establish the authenticity of the leaked tape.
