Former Northern Region Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Bugri Naabu is currently trending after a new video of him in a meeting with another group of people popped up.
He admitted in the viral video that he receives GHC 10,000 from the police. His admission was after some unknown persons accused him of singlehandedly pocketing some money accrued from a job done for Dr. George Akufo Dampare whilst he was lobbying to become the Inspector General of Police.
An unidentified man known as Amad is heard on a phone accusing Bugri Naabu of being on the payroll of the IGP, Dr George Akufo Dampare.
“Chairman … you told us that you are not getting anything with Dampare and we made our investigation, Dampare is paying you… he is paying you GH₵10,000,” he indicated.
Bugri Naabu in response refuted being on the payroll of the Inspector General of Police. He however admitted receiving GHC10,000 from the police as in informant.
“Don’t tell me that he pays me GH₵10,000; he doesn’t pay me, it’s the police… I don’t know, I receive GH₵10,000 from the police and they tell me the security work I do as a paramount chief… when there is a problem I report to them,” he responded.
His accuser however maintained that the said payment is from the IGP and not the police service.
A disagreement over the issue ended in Bugri Naabu daring his accuser to go ahead and destroy him if he so wishes.
