As reported by MyNewsGh.com, former Deputy Director of the National Service Scheme and GFA Exco Member, Gifty Oware Mensah, has been detained by the National Investigation Bureau (NIB).
Per reports, the football administrator was arrested and taken into custody on Friday, March 7, 2025, and has since been denied bail.
Her detention is in connection with an ongoing investigation by the NIB into payroll fraud during her tenure at the National Service Scheme.
Reports indicate that John Boadu had earlier signed for her to be granted bail, but she was denied and whisked away from the premises of the National Investigation Bureau.
Efforts by her lawyers to secure her bail and obtain information on her current location have so far proven futile.
Gifty Oware returned to Ghana on Tuesday, March 5, 2025, after spending time abroad on holiday following the 2024 elections.
Her lawyer, Nana Agyei-Baffour, speaking to Joy News in an interview after her return, indicated that she had not received any prior invitation from the NIB.
Gifty Oware Mensah’s detention follows the arrest of her colleague, Ohene Djan, who was picked up from his home in a Rambo-style operation by NIB officers days earlier.
