Former Attorney General Godfred Yeboah Dame has reported to the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) to assist with an inquiry into allegations of misconduct, following a formal petition filed by Richard Jakpa, Director of Special Operations at the National Security Secretariat.
Jakpa, a key figure in the controversial ambulance procurement case involving Finance Minister Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, accused Dame of attempting to fabricate evidence during the trial.
The petition, which has sparked public interest, calls for a thorough investigation into Dame’s alleged actions.
On Monday, October 6, Dame arrived at the CID headquarters in Accra, accompanied by a team of lawyers and supporters.
Among them was legal practitioner Kobby Amoah, who addressed journalists outside the facility.
“We are here to support the former Attorney General, Godfred Dame,” Amoah said. “There is a presumption of innocence, and until proven guilty, he remains innocent. We are following due process and are confident that the truth will prevail.”
The allegations stem from Jakpa’s claim that Dame pressured him to give false testimony against Dr. Forson. Jakpa has reportedly submitted audio recordings as part of his evidence.
As the investigation unfolds, Dame’s legal team maintains that he is cooperating fully with authorities.
