Whether played in homes, public spaces, or during community gatherings, games portray a sense of togetherness and relaxation.
In Ghana, one such game that continues to draw people in is draughts, a classic still enjoyed by many.
On Sunday, February 16,2025, the Inspector General of Police, Dr. George Akuffo Dampare, took time off his demanding schedule to engage in a friendly game of draughts with some Ghanaians.
The moment captured in a viral video shows the IGP seated casually among some citizens, fully immersed in the strategic moves of the game, reflecting his down-to-earth nature and his commitment to staying connected with the people he serves.
It must be noted that this is not the first time the IGP has been captured in such a moment.
Dr. Dampare has consistently demonstrated a people-centred approach to leadership, often engaging directly with citizens in informal settings.
