Former Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Godfred Dame, has reportedly been invited by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service.
This was disclosed by Moses Abor, the Greater Accra Youth Organiser of the New Patriotic Party, during an exclusive interview with GhanaWeb on Monday, 6 October 2025.
According to Abor, he believes the invitation followed a petition submitted by Richard Jakpa, Director of Special Operations at National Security.
“We are all here because of him (Godfred Dame) and Wontumi. We heard that for him, it is Jakpa who has petitioned. That is what I heard, but as to whether it is true or false, that one I don’t know, but he’s on his way coming so very soon he will be here,” Moses Abor said.
It will be recalled that Richard Jakpa petitioned the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service to urgently investigate allegations that former Attorney General Godfred Yeboah Dame attempted to fabricate evidence during the trial of Dr Ato Forson and two others.
Jakpa, who was the third accused person in the high-profile ambulance procurement case involving then-Minority Leader, Dr Cassiel Ato Forson, has stated that Godfred Dame misconducted himself when he allegedly solicited his co-operation to incriminate Ato Forson.
In a formal petition addressed to the Director of CID, Jakpa detailed that the then-AG wanted him to “testify in a manner to incriminate the first accused, Dr Ato Forson, and to help fast-track the conclusion of the case.”
He alleged that the testimony used to incriminate Dr Ato Forson after he opened his defence led to a phone call placed to him by Godfred Yeboah Dame on March 26, 2024.
He also indicated that this happened when he was to appear in the High Court to continue with his evidence-in-chief regarding the witness statement he had filed.
