DSP Gifty Tehoda returns to court today

The former Deputy Head of the Commercial Crimes Unit of the Police Service is returning to court today to challenge her dismissal.

DSP Gifty Tehoda was dismissed in 2011 over the swapping of cocaine exhibit in the custody of the police.

A principal witness has admitted to the Human Rights Court that Mrs. Tehoda was not giving a fair hearing before she was dismissed.

The case against Tehoda began on September 27, 2011 when one Nana Ama Martin’s was arrested for possessing large parcels suspected to be cocaine which later turned into bicarbonate or baking soda.

She was linked to the deal for which reason she was interdicted and subsequently dismissed from the Ghana Police Service as Deputy Commander in charge of the Commercial Crimes Unit of the Ghana Police Service.
