In a video on X, it showed that the IGP was in the company of an ardent supporter of the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
Appiah Stadium was hyping Dr Dampare as he played the game.
He also said that the new Mahama-led government did not have to replace the IGP because a new party had taken over from the one that appointed him.
“He is the Inspector General of Police. This is the leader of all police officers in Ghana. He is a good man. People do not like to tell the truth. Since I was born in Ghana, he has been one of the [better] policemen I have seen. That should not get into your head so you commit a crime. He will let the law deal with you if you commit a crime."

“Some people are calling for his removal as IGP because they think he is too strict. If I were the President, he would be IGP for 120 years,” he added.
In the trending video, Dr Akuffo Dampare, who has been hailed as down-to-earth, was wearing white shorts and a polo shirt with sneakers.
