Accra, June 30, GNA—The Ghana Police Service has debunked reports in the media suggesting that Dr George Akuffo Dampare has been removed as Inspector-General of Police (IGP). 

“The attention of the Ghana Police Service has been drawn to some media reports suggesting that the Inspector-General of Police, Dr. George Akuffo Dampare, has been asked to proceed on leave.
