Former Northern Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Daniel Bugri Naabu, has appeared before the Parliamentary Ad-Hoc Committee established to investigate an alleged plot to remove the Inspector-General of Police, Dr. George Akuffo-Dampare.
Bugri Naabu is accused of being part of a meeting that discussed the removal of the IGP.
The parliamentary committee last week warned that it would not tolerate any excuses aimed at delaying its work.
The warning came after the first witness, Bugri Naabu, failed to show up on grounds of ill health during the committee’s initial sitting last week.
However, the Chairman of the Committee, Samuel Atta Kyea, cautioned that they will not accept excuses from witnesses, indicating that they expect Bugri Naabu’s cooperation during the investigation.
“It is not a good enough reason,” Atta Kyea said. “We do not want people who appear before this committee subsequently to be giving excuses to delay our work. I do not believe that it is right and proper that when people are invited to appear before the committee, they have scheduled a time for the committee, it should be the other way around. If you know all the sacrifices people make for the committee, people should be in their constituencies, but they are here. And the witness is the one who is holding us to ransom.”
The Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, constituted a seven-member committee to investigate the leaked tape containing alleged plans by the government to remove the Inspector General of Police, Dr. George Akuffo Dampare, from office in an attempt to rig the 2024 elections.
The committee is chaired by the Member of Parliament for Abuakwa South, Samuel Atta-Akyea, and includes a technical person, Dr. Isaac Lartey Annan, who is a lawyer and a human rights specialist.
The committee has been tasked with investigating the authenticity of the leaked tape, as well as the allegations contained therein.
The committee is also tasked with making recommendations on how to prevent such incidents from happening in the future.

The Tema Regional Police Command has arrested a 32-year-old man for allegedly posing as a soldier and extorting money from unsuspecting members of the public at Ashaiman.
The suspect, identified as Bright Atsu Kudiabor, was arrested by the Ashaiman Police on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, at about 7:00 a.m.
According to the Police, he was arrested at an area known as “I Shall Return”, where he was allegedly parading himself as a soldier and demanding money from people.
The Police said Kudiabor, who is an ex-convict, was initially arrested by personnel of the Ghana National Fire Service in Ashaiman with assistance from other members of the public.
A search conducted on him after he was handed over to the Police reportedly led to the recovery of a set of military camouflage uniform.
The suspect is currently in Police custody and assisting with investigations.
The Tema Regional Police Command said he would be processed for court after investigations are completed.
The Police urged the public to remain vigilant and report anyone who falsely presents themselves as a soldier or a member of another security agency to deceive or extort money from the public.

Volta Regional Minister, James Gunu, says the Volta Region holds enormous agricultural potential and efforts must be geared towards connecting farmers to the needed resources to unlock that potential.
He said focus must be on linking farmers to resources, technology, financing and markets to increase production, create jobs and build sustainable livelihoods.
Hon. Gunu made the remarks at the national launch of the Ghana Tomato Self-Sufficiency Initiative (GHATSI) held at Anloga in the Volta Region on Tuesday, September 15.
The initiative, under the theme “Produce at Home. Feed the Nation. Export the Surplus,” seeks to boost local tomato production, processing and marketing while reducing Ghana’s heavy reliance on imported tomatoes.
The launch was attended by the Minister for Food and Agriculture, Eric Opoku, his Deputy, John Setor Dumelo, Feed Ghana Coordinator, Bright Demordzi, Members of Parliament, traditional leaders, MMDCEs, farmers and other stakeholders.
Mr.Gunu expressed appreciation to the Minister for Food and Agriculture for the support announced for the region, including two excavators, 200 cartons of organic fertiliser, and GH¢200,000 for Ms. Kuatudzo Esther Dela, a tomato farmer and processor from Ziope.
He described the initiative as an important step towards making agriculture a stronger driver of food security, job creation and economic growth in the Volta Region.
