Former Northern Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Daniel Bugri Naabu, has revealed that he was the one who recorded the leaked audio that exposed a plot to depose Inspector General of Police, Dr. George Akuffo Dampare.
The former NPP executive, who is now a traditional ruler, stated that he recorded the recording to defend his party.
According to him, he recorded the audio to use as evidence, which he then delivered to President Akufo-Addo.
He revealed this when he appeared before the parliamentary committee investigating the matter.
“The reason for recording this tape is that they are coming to tell me to go and tell the President something…and it is either I don’t go to tell the President and then I and my party suffer for it and if I also go to talk to the President, it is good to tell him the right thing and since I cannot keep everything they were telling me at that point, it was very good to record, and I know the President, [if] I go and tell him something, and it turns not to be true, next time he won’t give me respect,” he said.
“I didn’t do it myself but I requested somebody who knows how to do the recording to come and do it for me. I didn’t use a phone I went to the mall and got this ordinary tape,” he stated.
Bugri Naabu recorded a conversation with three high-ranking police officers, Commander Asare, COP Mensah, and Superintendent Gyebi, to present evidence to the president.
The officers allegedly advocated for the removal of the IGP, claiming Dr. Akuffo Damapre’s actions aligned with the opposition NDC’s interests.
