On March 12, 2025, Accra-based Asaase Radio reported on their social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter alleging that Dr. Dampare had been relieved of his position.
However, the post sparked controversy, with many users questioning its authenticity and seeking official confirmation.
The report did not sit well with some social media users, who criticized the outlet for spreading what they termed as unverified information.
“This is never true, you’re just misleading people,” one user commented.
Another user expressed disbelief, stating, “I will find it extremely difficult to understand any GOOD REASON why the government would remove IGP Dr. Dampare. Look! Dr. Dampare is the IDEAL IGP. My ENERGY & his momentary interaction on February 28 at Alisa Hotel, Accra, was profound. Just the peripheral FORCEFIELDS were HUGE and POSITIVE.”
Others praised Dr. Dampare’s leadership, emphasizing his impact and public approval.
“IGP Dampare had excellent people skills. He did his best and will be remembered as one of the most loved IGPs in Ghana’s history,” a user wrote.
“Dampare is still the IGP. Stop all these propaganda and lies,” another added.
“Dampare is the reason many of you even know we have an IGP. Without looking it up, some of you wouldn’t even know who held the position before him,” a comment read.
Amid the confusion, several users continued to ask questions.
“Why was Dampare sacked?” one user queried.
“Is there any official communiqué to support the claim that Dampare has been fired?” another demanded.
As speculation grows, the public awaits an official response from the authorities to either confirm or refute the allegations, especially from the government or the police fraternity.
