Dr George Akuffo Dampare served as the Inspector General of Police (IGP) from June 2021 to March 2025 when he was fired by President .
His appointment as IGP was met with much excitement as expectations were rife that he was going to deal ruthlessly with crime in the country.
Many Ghanaians believed that, based on his past records and capabilities, Dr Dampare could effectively combat crime and resolve major cases, including the unsolved murder cases of high-profile personalities.
However, these expectations were not met as years passed, with justice seemingly eluding the families of victims in several unsolved cases, while suspects remained at large.
