An on air interaction took an unexpected turn when a listener put a pointed question to celebrated gospel musician and senior police officer ACP Kofi Sarpong during a recent radio interview.
The Assistant Commissioner of Police, who has built a parallel reputation in gospel music, was asked whether he had ever taken a bribe at any point in his career, either as a law enforcement officer or as a recording artiste.
Speaking on Hitz FM on January 26, 2026, Kofi Sarpong dismissed the suggestion outright. Laughing as he responded, he said, “Not at all… never.”
He went further to clarify that he had also never been tempted or pressured to accept a bribe, stressing that such an experience had not come his way throughout his years in service.
The conversation later shifted to how his growing responsibilities within the Ghana Police Service could influence his music career. Kofi Sarpong explained that his output would largely depend on the demands of his work, but made it clear that his calling to sing would not be silenced by promotion.
“It will depend on the workload on me but the talent is from God and I can’t hide it. So, when I climb up the ladder, any opportunity that I will have, I will do what God asked me to do,” he noted.
He also offered insight into his songwriting approach, revealing that while he personally writes some of his songs, others are composed with the help of external writers.
Watch his reaction below.
