The Inspector General of Police (IGP) Dr George Akuffo Dampare has highlighted the dangers of disinformation and misinformation.
He says disinformation and misinformation should be seen as a threat to national security.
Dr Dampare said this at the Ghana Report Summit in Accra on Thursday, August 1.
He further raised concerns against attacks on law enforcers when it comes to the application of the law against disinformation and misinformation.
“What do we want us as people? Do we want to be on the side of right or wrong, we have to make a decision. We need everybody to be part of the solution in the fight against disinformation and misinformation.
“When people make such disinformation or misinformation and you take action against them you have some people attacking the people who are fighting it,” he said.
The IGP further stressed “The time has come for us to have a mindset change, all the things we have said so far what is required to have is a mindset change.
“We have become so inhumane to each other such that our happiness is derived from the pain of others. We are so happy when someone is in a bad situation and we must yearn to change from that.
