Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Dr George Akuffo Dampare has cautioned British High Commissioner, Harriet Thompson “to learn to keep within the limits of what concerns you".
This follows a tweet from Harriet after Oliver Barker-Vormawor, a Convener of FixTheCountry Movement was arrested again.
In the tweet, she said: “Oliver Barker Vormawor, convener of #FixTheCountry movement, arrested again, I understand for a motoring offence on his way to court. I’ll be interested to see where this goes…”.
However, in a strong-worded statement signed by Dr Akuffo Dampare, the tweet was "misguided, unwarranted and biased".
"Ordinarily, the Ghana Police Service would not have responded to comments such as yours, obviously made from either a biased or uninformed position. However, we have learnt from previous, painful experience that it has not been helpful to ignore such misguided, unwarranted and biased comments intended to tarnish the reputation of the Ghana Police Service and that of our country.
"For the moment, we would recommend a Ghanaian saying that might guide you in your diplomatic engagements. The saying goes: 'di wo fie asem' – it means learn to keep within the limits of what concerns you,” the statement added.

OH NDC, does this group called NDC hate Ghana so much? Can any Ghanaian diplomat do same in either UK or USA? Why should NDC stand up against a national citizen who is fighting for Ghana? Is NDC supporting this British woman because Ghanaians rejected the Gay right issue being propagated by the Western world? I am highly disappointed in the NDC. LET US LOVE OUR COUNTRY, GHANA FOR GHANA IS ALL THAT WE HAVE.
ANOTHER MISGUIDED COMMENT (Wow this IGP has a ton of time on his hands! Four page response to a common tweet? No wonder the security of the common Ghanaian is in such a mess.
I hope we can still have the balls to reject any financial and other support from Britain 🇬🇧. Gh people can talk oo.
A visionary and transforming IGP. Keep this up and defend police and Ghana. Well said. We need people like you in Ghana. Over to you, madam High Commissioner, apologise to Ghana Police and tell us that you will not comment on police enforcement of Ghana laws as lack of enforcement of laws in Ghana and Africa is the biggest problem
***barred word*** NDC ***barred word*** KISS ASSMEN AND THEIR ***barred word*** NDC ARROGANT UNRULLY INDIVIDUALS DOES THE IGP EATS FROM THE BRITISH HIGH COMMISSIONER OR DOES IGP REPORT TO THEM GHANA IS AN INDEPENDENT COUNTRY NOT A COLONY ***barred word*** NDC ***barred word*** FIND A PLACE TO GO WHERE THE SUN DON'T SHINE. NDC IS STILL UNDER COLONISATION, GHANAIANS ARE NOT SO GHANAIANS WILL NOT VOTE FOR NDC ANYMORE WITH THAT TYPE OF SLAVE MENTALITY. SICK NDC PEOPLE UNRULLY AS THEY ARE BACKWARD MENTALITY. KEEP SITTING IN THE BRITISH COLONISATION...
I see this as a sign of maturity. The IGP need to address the tons of interferences coming from diplomats when they are living in Africa. Whiles we are not allowed to do the same in their Land
Wow this IGP has a ton of time on his hands! Four page response to a common tweet? No wonder the security of the common Ghanaian is in such a mess. Mr celebrity IGP stop the grandstanding and work! We had so much hope when you were first appointed but it appears you are just like the rest, if not worse. An aspiring president in police uniform. God help us.
I have said it ones and I will say it again, this evil woman is the hand of the colonial ***barred word*** sent to use locals likes Vormawor Diabolo to destabilize Ghana. Watch her every move. All this ***barred word*** she is spewing is because Ghana rejected a deal to be the destination for the asylum seekers they are throwing out of UK, and Ghana did well to reject the deal. Madam descendant of colonial ***barred word***, your grand parents entered into peoples land shot them and forcefully took their resources and enslaved them. And today are you driving away descent asylum seekers running for dear life and then turn around to be angry because Ghana refused your hypocritical deal. This is your last warning don't let me hear you opening your dirty mouth ever again in Ghana, Ever!
