“The police CID cleared him, that he’s done nothing wrong. But the case was referred to the special prosecutor… who is doing his investigations. And we don’t even have report from the OSP. So he’s still not at post. We are waiting for the special prosecutor” he explained.
The Criminal Investigative Department of the Ghana Police Service after a thorough investigation into the documentary produce by Tiger Eye PI, cleared Mr. Bissue of no wrong doing.
The documentary claimed that Mr Bissue was involved in alleged shady deals to facilitate processes for a mining firm called ORR Resources Enterprises.
The case, has since been forwarded to the Office of the Special Prosecutor by the Tiger Eye PI.
