JB Danquah Murder Case: Suspect Claims IGP Dampare Nicknamed Him 'Sexy Don Don'
In a startling revelation during a court hearing on the murder case of J.B. Danquah, a former Member of Parliament for Abuakwa North, the prime suspect has claimed that Inspector General of Police (IGP) Dr. George Akuffo Dampare gave him the nickname "Sexy Don Don." This unusual claim adds a surprising twist to the ongoing high-profile trial that has captured the attention of many Ghanaians.
Daniel Asiedu, the prime suspect in the murder case, made the statement while addressing the court, where he is currently on trial for the alleged killing of J.B. Danquah Adu. The former legislator was murdered in his residence in February 2016, sparking a national outcry and prompting a protracted investigation. Asiedu has made multiple controversial statements throughout the legal proceedings, but his recent claim about the IGP’s involvement in giving him a nickname has raised eyebrows.
According to Asiedu, IGP Dampare, who has led the Ghana Police Service since 2021, allegedly referred to him by the nickname “Sexy Don Don” on multiple occasions. Asiedu claimed this nickname was given to him during interactions with Dampare, although he did not specify the context or timing of these alleged exchanges. However, the details surrounding the origin of the nickname remain unclear, and IGP Dampare has not responded publicly to the claims.
The prosecution team has yet to address Asiedu’s remarks about the nickname in detail, focusing instead on building a case against him for the alleged murder of Danquah. In recent testimonies, Asiedu's statements have often veered into unexpected territory, leading some observers to question his motivations or strategy in making such claims. Defense attorneys have argued that these comments do not bear relevance to the case at hand and may be attempts by the suspect to divert attention or delay proceedings.
Asiedu’s courtroom revelations are not the first time he has made statements that have stirred up public interest. He previously alleged mistreatment in police custody and has given varying accounts of his role in the crime. Despite these allegations and the unusual nature of his comments, the court has continued to proceed with the case, focusing on evidence linked directly to the murder charge.
Meanwhile, the family of the late J.B. Danquah Adu has expressed frustration over the delays and the drawn-out nature of the trial. They are seeking justice for their relative, a respected lawmaker whose life was cut short under tragic circumstances. Friends and supporters of Danquah have also urged the court to expedite the proceedings to bring closure to a case that has deeply affected many in Ghana.
The murder of J.B. Danquah Adu remains one of Ghana's most talked-about criminal cases, with many citizens closely following developments. While Asiedu's comments about the "Sexy Don Don" nickname may have added an unusual twist, observers are hopeful that the court will soon arrive at a verdict to provide justice to the Danquah family and to all those affected by his untimely death.
