Many people have been drawn to a picture circulating on social media that shows the wife of Ghanaian IGP, George Akufo Dampare. This photo has sparked a lot of debate on social media, as many people believe the lady is his daughter rather than his wife.
Akumaa Mama Zimbi, a popular broadcast journalist, also shared the news with a caption confirming the lady as the IGP’s wife.
