- Daniel Bugri Naabu, the former Northern Regional Chairman of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), has clarified that he told the senior police officers who approached him for assistance in their scheme to assassinate the current Inspector-General of Police to seek the help of mallams in order to enable them to elect their preferred candidate as the next IGP.
- He indicated that he thought God had the last say in who held office and advised them to visit mallams for a spiritual favor if they wanted the IGP position.
- Bugri Naabu disclosed this when he appeared before the Parliamentary Ad-Hoc Committee which has been tasked to investigate the issue on Monday, August 28, 2023.
- When a media leak of an audio recording of certain senior police officials plotting to have the incumbent IGP, George Akufo-Dampare, removed, the former NPP Northern Regional Chairman became the center of attention.
- Given the nature of the conversation with the senior police officers involved, the information on the leaked recording sparked a nationwide debate. After receiving criticism from the public, Parliament established the Committee, which is now being investigated by Samuel Atta-Akyea, a member of parliament for Abuakwa South. The panel’s mandate is to look into both the veracity of the recording that was released and the complex claims that have drawn the attention of the country.
