Mahama Sacks IGP George Akuffo Dampare; COP Yohunu Takes Over.

President John Dramani Mahama has removed the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Dr. George Akuffo-Dampare, from his position as part of ongoing discussions about security sector reforms under his administration.

 

He has appointed COP Christian Tetteh Yohunu as the new IGP, with the swearing-in ceremony scheduled for Friday, March 14.

 

While no official reason has been given for Dr. Akuffo-Dampare’s dismissal, sources suggest the move is part of a broader restructuring effort within the Ghana Police Service.

 

Dr. Akuffo-Dampare, who was appointed IGP in 2021, is widely known for spearheading key policing reforms, including community engagement initiatives and internal discipline measures within the service.
