I was a victim of Dampare's misruling - Madina MP

In a recent statement, Madina MP Francis-Xavier Sosu accused Inspector General of Police (IGP) George Akuffo Dampare of mismanaging police operations in his constituency. Sosu described himself as a victim of what he termed the IGP's misrule, highlighting ongoing tensions between law enforcement and citizens in Madina. He recounted instances where police actions have led to public unrest, claiming that the IGP’s leadership has failed to foster trust and cooperation within the community. The MP emphasized the need for improved policing strategies that prioritize community engagement and safety rather than aggressive tactics that alienate residents.

Sosu called on higher authorities to address these issues and ensure accountability within the police force. His remarks come amid broader discussions about police reform in Ghana, underscoring the critical need for responsive governance and effective law enforcement practices that resonate with public expectations. As concerns about security and police conduct grow, Sosu’s comments reflect a significant call for change in how policing is approached in urban areas like Madina.
