Dampare Leaked Tape: Police Officer Says Bugri Naabu Recommended Mallams For Spiritual Attack On IGP

• Former NPP Northern Regional Chairman Bugri Naabu has been accused of suggesting spiritual attacks on the IGP
• Bugri Naabu allegedly recommended to three mallams to police officer for the purported spiritual attack
• The revelations were made before the committee probing an alleged plot to oust IGP George Akuffo Dampare

A police officer appearing before the committee probing an alleged plot against the IGP said the former NPP Northern Regional Chairman, Daniel Bugri Naabu, recommended using mallams to oust IGP George Akuffo Dampare.

Superintendent George Asare claimed Bugri Naabu had made such offers in the past and recommended three mallams in this instance.

According to Asare, Burgi Naabu suggested they fight the IGP physically and spiritually.

“All that he was trying to say was that this thing, we have to fight it, both physically and spiritually. And then he gave examples of people that he helped them fight for the positions spiritually.”

“Chief Bugri Naabu insisted that he has to also see some Mallams. He recommended about three, some in the North, and some from his village. It was Chief Bugri Naabu himself came forth with that suggestion,” Asare testified.

He, however, maintained that the tape had been doctored, with his objections to the use of Mallams edited out.
