The Commissioner of Police (COP) within the Ghana Police Service, has revealed that he submitted his curriculum vitae to Bugri Naabu, with the intention of enlisting his support to advance his candidacy for the position of Inspector General of Police (IGP).

He made this disclosure during his appearance before a 7-member parliamentary committee established to investigate a leaked audio recording aimed at the removal of the incumbent IGP, Dr. George Akuffo Dampare.

COP Mensah clarified that his purpose in sharing his CV with Bugri Naabu, the former Northern Regional Chairman, was to seek endorsement for his aspiration to lead the police service as the IGP.

This revelation came in response to a query posed by a committee member.

“My CV was given to somebody whom Bugri Naabu sent to come and collect from me.

“The purpose was for him to go and lobby for me to become the IGP,” he added.

“And that was not the first time lobbying went on, we have been lobbying from 2017 to become IGP,” he added.

Moreover, COP Mensah continued by explaining that he had been engaged in a continuous effort to gain leadership of the police service since 2017.
