Breaking: Dampare In Critical Meeting With NPP, NDC Leadership Regarding Requests To Arrest Mahama, Bryan Acheampong

According to a reliable source, the Inspector General of Police, Dr. George Akuffo Dampare, has called for a meeting between his organization and the leadership of the two major political parties.

According to our source, the purpose of the meeting is to warn the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) to be cautious with their statements ahead of the 2024 political season.

The meeting will focus on three topics that, according to the IGP, will become the norm in the future.

First, the NPP and NDC must be mindful of their words so as not to make reckless statements that will destabilize the nation. According to him, anyone from the two political parties, regardless of their status, who made such statements would be imprisoned.

The second issue is that the Police Service will no longer permit politicians to exert influence over them. The era in which political leaders believed they had the authority to instruct the police what to do or not to do no longer exists.

Dr. Dampare will conclude by explaining that the country's laws determine who has violated them and is subject to arrest, and that no politician has the authority to instruct the police who to arrest or not.

This comes after both the NPP and NDC recently petitioned the office of the IGP to arrest opposition members.

Godwin Edudzi Tamakloe, a member of the NDC's legal team, petitioned the IGP to arrest Bryan Acheampong, the member of parliament for Abetifi, for stating that his party would never cede power to the NDC.

The NPP, on the other hand, had filed a petition through its National Organiser, Henry Nana Boakye, to have the former President, John Dramani Mahama, and the National Chairman of the NDC, Johnson Asiedu Nketia, arrested for allegedly causing mayhem with their remarks.

Franklin Fifi Fiavi Kwettey, General Secretary of the NDC, and Henry Nana Boakye and Justin Frimpong Koduah, General Secretaries of the NPP, led the delegation for the opposition party at the meeting.
