Dr George Akuffo Dampare (L) and Oliver Barker-Vormawor
Private legal practitioner and activist, Oliver Barker-Vormawor has accused the immediate-past Inspector-General of Police, (IGP) Dr George Akuffo Dampare of dishonesty, vindictiveness and sideling top police officers.
In a post shared on his X page on Thursday, March 13, 2025, he asserted that Dampare’s removal as IGP was in the best interest of Ghana
“His total disregard for senior police hierarchy. He had his own click and camp. Those he liked he kept close. Those who he didn’t like felt it paa. He was petty, vindictive and just an extremely insecure man!
I say Good Riddance. The Man must rest for new blood to learn from where he failed,” he stated.
The activist further accused the Dr Akuffo Dampare of overseeing the harsh treatment of the Democracy Hub protestors.
“The way he oversaw the brutal treatment of Democracy Hub protestors, from #OccupyJulorbiHouse to #StopGalamseyProtest. This includes the way he set his sights on me, doing almost everything in his power to use the police force against me and our other convenors.
I believe that he was extremely used by the former regime. He was their lapdog, and he delivered.”
