audio recording on the plot to oust the Inspector General of Police (IGP) has descended heavily on the Ghana Police Service for an earlier decision to interdict some three senior officers following their evidence in witness before the committee. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The decision was, however, rescinded barely 24 hours later.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking to TV3 over the weekend Hon \u00a0Atta Akyea said the decision was tantamount to evidence-gagging.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am very glad that the [Ghana] Police Service\u2019s realized that what they attempted to put out that people testifying in a Parliamentary inquiry should be interdicted,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was unfortunate because at the end of the day, somebody might even say that it\u2019s tantamount to evidence gagging and intimidating and blackmailing witnesses so if they thought it wise that they should suspend the interdiction to abide [by] the outcome of the parliamentary inquiry, it\u2019s all the wisdom of the moment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is good for everybody.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The three senior officers initially interdicted were George Alex Mensah, a Commissioner of Police (COP), who is also the Service\u2019s outgoing Director-General for Operations, George Lysander Asare, a Superintendent, and Emmanuel Eric Gyebi, another Superintendent.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\"
