The Director of Operations of the Ghana Police Service, George Alex Mensah, says there is no bad blood between him and the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Dr George Akuffo Dampare.

He admitted, however, that there are professional disagreements between them occasionally at the top level.

He described himself as one who is open and forward because “I speak my mind”.

Commissioner of Police (COP) Alex Mensah made this known on Thursday, August 31 when he appeared before the special seven-member committee set up by the Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, to investigate the authenticity of leaked tape on the IGP.

He was captured together with some senior police officers and the former Northern Region Chairman of the New Patriotic Party, Daniel Bugri Naabu, in a conversation ostensibly plotting to remove the IGP before the 2024 elections.

The tape had suggested that the IGP was doing the bidding of former President John Dramani Mahama, who has promised keeping him at post.

Though Chief Bugri Naabu confirmed the content of the tape, COP Alex Mensah denied the content saying portions have been “edited”.

Notwithstanding, he said he has no issues whatsoever with the current IGP.

COP Alex Mensah is currently on leave pending retirement from service.
