- This was disclosed by the committee’s chairman, Samuel Atta Akyea, who explained that it was done in order to give the IGP a chance to present his side of the story. This was stated by Mr. Atta Akyea in a Sunday radio interview with Accra-based Joy FM.
- Chief Daniel Bugri Naabu, Superintendent Mr. George L. Asare, COP Mr. George Alex Mensah, and Superintendent Mr. Emmanuel Eric Gyebi will all return on Tuesday with their attorneys. The IGP himself, the most well-known individual whose name has been mentioned, should also attend with his lawyers, he added.
- But, Mr. Atta Akyea stated that the hearing would take place behind closed doors. He clarified that in order to protect national security, certain issues from the hearing needed to be kept from becoming public knowledge.
- “Some serious allegations have been made in public, but the substance of the allegations have not been made in public. That is to say, the evidential support for those allegations is what we are going to unearth, so which piece of evidence that we’ll give to the public that will not hurt national security, we’ll exercise that discretion,” he added.
- The Committee will not permit “the IGP to be shamed and degraded without providing him a hearing,” he continued.
- He continued by saying that the democratic course of action is to give the IGP a chance to defend his name.
