COP Mensah’s allegations may be concocted due to hatred for IGP – Franklin Cudjoe

President of IMANI-Africa, Franklin Cudjoe, has argued that the allegations being made by the embattled Commissioner of Police, Alex Mensah, against the Inspector General of Police (IGP), George Akuffo Dampare, may as well be concocted.

“The reason for this enquiry is to establish certain facts; whether the voices are authentic, whether some of the comments that have been made can be ascribed to the said persons – the witnesses.

And so to a very large extent, they have accepted that most of the comments are theirs.

“Well, I can understand we want to seek forensic experts to find whether certain aspects of the tape have been doctored, that may well be in the rights of everyone, but for me I am struggling to understand what is happening here.

“This is a gentleman who says that look, he had nursed feelings about being named the IGP and then because of that he’s had all these, for lack of a better word, some sort of hatred towards the person of the IGP

Now there has been a leaked tape involving him and then he’s making other accusations that the IGP is a very bad leader, he’s at crosshairs with the military establishment, I mean, I’m struggling to understand how we should be admitting some of these comments or commentary from the same person who has haboured these deep cynicism and deep hatred for the person of the IGP.

He’s accepted that his voice is on the tape, he made those very serious accusations and the matter for me ends there,” he said on Top Story on Joy FM.
