Former Deputy Attorney-General, Alfred Tuah-Yeboah, has defended his former boss, Godfred Yeboah Dame, describing the ongoing investigation by the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) as a “political witch-hunt” driven by personal dislike.
Mr. Tuah-Yeboah, who accompanied Mr. Dame to the CID headquarters on Monday morning, said the complainant in the case was well aware that the former Attorney-General was innocent of the allegations levelled against him.
“It is purely political and borne out of dislike for Godfred Dame. The complainant knows that this matter wouldn’t have arisen if he hadn’t gone to see one of his relatives, a Supreme Court judge, to speak to Mr. Dame. He knows Godfred is innocent but wants to test him. We are ready for him; the truth will come out,” he said.
The former Deputy Attorney-General further stated that, having worked closely with Mr. Dame, he could vouch for his integrity and professionalism.
“I can state without any equivocation that he has done nothing untoward to merit these accusations. Godfred performed his duties with diligence and honesty. The truth will stand, and he will be vindicated,” he added.
Mr. Dame’s appearance at the CID follows a petition filed by Richard Jakpa, Director of Special Operations at the National Security Secretariat.
The petition, dated September 23, 2025, and addressed to the Director-General of the CID, accused the former Attorney-General of fabricating evidence during his tenure in connection with the ongoing ambulance procurement trial involving Mr. Jakpa and current Finance Minister, Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson.
According to the petition, Mr. Jakpa claimed that Mr. Dame attempted to influence his testimony during the trial to implicate Dr. Forson and even encouraged him to obtain a false medical excuse to delay court proceedings — conduct he described as “dishonest and unethical.”
The alleged incident reportedly took place on March 26, 2024, when Mr. Dame allegedly contacted Mr. Jakpa ahead of his court appearance to “tailor his testimony” to align with the prosecution’s stance on the disputed Letters of Credit central to the case.
The former Attorney-General, accompanied by his legal team, honoured the CID’s invitation on Monday to respond to the allegations.
