The Ghana Police Service has halted the suspension of the 3 police officers who were implicated in a leaked tape allegedly plotting the removal of the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Dr George Akuffo Dampare.
The trio, namely COP/Mr George Alex Mensah, Supt/Mr Emmanuel Eric Gyebi and Supt/Mr George Lysander Asare in a release on Thursday morning were interdicted over their alleged involvement in the scandal.
This was after trio appeared before the Parliamentary Committee investigating the scandal and made startling revelations about the police service.
The police statement said: "The interdiction is to make way for disciplinary proceedings into their conduct in line with Police Service regulations."
However, the latest development is that their interdiction has been suspended
“In order not to prejudice the ongoing probe, the Police administration has suspended their interdiction,” the Police indicated in a statement on Thursday evening, September 7.
The controversial tape had the police officers and former Northern Regional NPP chairman Bugri Naabu plotting to oust Inspector General of Police Dr. George Akufo-Dampare.
Chief Bugri Naabu has admitted before the Parliamentary Committee probing the leaked tape that the tape is authentic.
He added that he recorded their conversation. But COP Alex Mensah claims parts of the tape were doctored when he took his turn before the Parliamentary Committee currently probing the leaked tape.
The parliamentary ad-hoc committee is currently investigating the matter.
