In a July 20 interview with Kwesi Parker-Wilson of Oyerepa TV at his office, Bugri Naabu expressed his frustration with people referring to him as the IGP's "boy," stating that such claims make him angry and feel disrespected. He emphasized that the IGP is not someone who merits the status of being referred to as his "boy," highlighting his own authority and standing in society. IGP cannot call me his father, but he can call me his Nana (chief); that is who I am," Bugri Naabu asserted. Furthermore, Bugri Naabu stated his willingness to cooperate with any investigation that may arise regarding the leaked audio and its implications. "I am a Ghanaian, and so I am not above anything; if I have committed an offense, the offense will chop me," Bugri Naabu added.
