The Inspector General Police (IGP), Dr. George Akuffo Dampare, has been trending on Twitter the whole day.
Social media users are asking for him to be relieved of his job due to the killing of Albert Akwasi Donkor in Nkoranza, a community in the Bono East Region.
The deceased is alleged to have been killed by the Police while in their custody.
His death led to a scuffle between the youth of the area on Tuesday, May 17, a situation that resulted in the shooting of a 19-year-old final-year student of the Nkoranza Technical Institute.
Eight others also sustained various degrees of injury.
The social media users are, therefore, saying the Police administration has not done enough to curb the reoccurrence of such tensions.
Below is what some users have said on Twitter:
A number of NDC-affiliated accounts have been driving the hashtag #DampareMustGo. More than 770 tweets to far between 11.30am and 1pm.

We got to serious in this country, why should you as a police man do this to an innocent person on the street.
