CID reschedules Godfred Dame’s appearance over Jakpa petition

The invitation extended to former Attorney General, Godfred Yeboah Dame, by the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service in connection with a petition filed by Richard Jakpa, Director of Special Operations at the National Security Secretariat, has been rescheduled to Monday, 6 October 2025, at 10am.

Mr Jakpa, the third accused in the ambulance procurement trial, petitioned the CID to probe Mr Dame over alleged misconduct and attempts to influence his testimony in court.

The petition details a phone conversation allegedly held on 26 March 2024 between Mr Jakpa and Mr Dame, which Jakpa claims he has attached as evidence.

“He suggested that during cross-examination I testify not based on matters personally perceived and understood by me, but based on his suggestions,” Jakpa stated in the petition.

Mr Jakpa further alleges that Mr Dame instructed him to procure a false medical excuse duty to delay his court appearance until the then-Attorney General returned from a trip abroad, a suggestion Jakpa says he “declined” as “criminal, dishonest and unethical.”

At a press conference on 14 February 2025, Mr Dame defended his advice, insisting it was not borne out of ill intent but rather a genuine suggestion considering Mr Jakpa’s health condition and his own busy schedule due to an international case.

“Not knowing he himself had that illicit agenda and was secretly recording and was saying the things that he got on the tape, which came from him and not from me,” Mr Dame told journalists at the event.

“When he went, he actually obtained the adjournment because he was not well. So the fact of my asking him to obtain a medical certificate because he was not well was nothing but factual,” he added.

The CID is expected to take Mr Dame’s statement on the matter when he honours the rescheduled appointment.
