The Bureau of National Investigations (BNI) has finally released the top policewoman indicted in the recent cocaine-swap scandal who was kept in their custody for nearly two weeks. DSP Gifty Mawuenyega Tehoda, Head of the Commercial Crimes Unit of the Police CID, was released some minutes after 11am. She was kept for an extra night despite an Accra Human Rights Court's orders to release her on bail. Korshie Tehoda, husband of the top policewoman confirmed this piece of information in an interview during PeaceFM News@12. He revealed that though the wife is in good mood, she looks haggard. Implicated for the alleged role she played in the swapping of a cocaine exhibit at the Police Headquarters, DSP Tehoda had been in the BNI custody since December 29, 2011. The Human Rights Court released the female police officer on bail in the sum of Ghc 50,000 with two sureties on Thursday. However, the indicted top cop spent another night in the cells of the national intelligence outfit because a schedule officer who was supposed to sign her discharge papers was indisposed the whole of Thursday, according to reports.
