The Ghana Police Service is expected to open its defense at the Human Rights division of the Accra High Court on a case brought against it by DSP Gifty Mawuenyega Tehoda on Thursday.
DSP Gifty Mawuenyega Tehoda was dismissed three years ago by the Police administration.
[contextly_sidebar id=”fQn9ga7TRbhIhqrkMjHOKwsy3jU4rwJA”]The case involving DSP Tehoda began on September 27, 2011 when one Nana Ama Martins was arrested for possessing large parcels suspected to be cocaine which later turned into bicarbonate or baking soda.
DSP Tehoda was linked to the disappearance of the cocaine and was interdicted and subsequently dismissed from the Service.
She was then the Deputy Commander in charge of the Commercial Crimes Unit.
Tehoda has sued the Ghana Police Service for wrongful dismissal and is praying the court among other things, to compel the Service to reinstate her.
Her lawyer, E.A Vorduago has also demanded compensation and damages for what he described as “DSP Tehoda’s unlawful detention and for withholding her promotion.”
