Europa 12:47 - 06 February 2017

The Deputy Commander in charge of the Commercial Crimes Unit of the Police Service, Gifty Tehoda was interdicted in September 2011 following the arrest of one Nana Ama Martins who was accused of possessing parcels of substances suspected to be cocaine.

A Human Rights Division of the High Court has set the 16th of March to deliver judgment in the case involving a former senior police officer DSP Gifty Tehoda.

The court presided over by Justice Gifty Adjei Addo set the date after it granted an application adopting proceedings during the time of dismissed high court Judge, Justice Kofi Essel Mensah.

She has since sued the Ghana Police Service for wrongful dismissal. She is also praying the court to among other things, compel the Service to reinstate her.
