The Inspector General of Police George Akuffo Dampare has with immediate effect interdicted a policeman caught on tape in a “perceived drunken state.”
The police said in a statement Wednesday that the officer is facing a service inquiry over his conduct. He has also been referred to a clinical psychologist for further examination.
