Claims of Gifty Oware Mensah being invited by the National Investigations Bureau have been dismissed by her lawyer, Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah.
According to him, no security agency had invited Gifty Oware Mensah until she arrived in Ghana on March 4, 2025.
However, several reports were suggesting that she had left Ghana indefinitely to escape investigation.
Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah was speaking on Accra-based Joy News when he made this known.
“Up until today, she had not been invited by the BNI. Up until today, no security agency has invited her.
“I am putting it on record: Gifty Oware, up until today, has not been invited by any security agency,” he emphatically stated on JoyNews PM Express on Tuesday, March 4.
He indicated that as her Lawyers, they had to write to the National Investigation Bureau because there were several publications about her being on the run and the president’s comment during the state of the nation address.
“We wrote because, following the arrest of Kwaku Ohene, there were a lot of publications that the BNI was looking for her and she had absconded.
“Subsequently, the president went to Parliament to make a similar allusion, although her name was not mentioned. So when we put one and two together, we concluded that all references were to her,” Mr Awuah said.
“Now, when you put these facts together, would you describe her as a flight risk?” he questioned.
On why the Minority Leader, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, disclosed that she will go to the office of the National Investigations Bureau, he explained that it is a move to avoid the rambo style in which her colleague Ohene Djan was arrested.
“The Minority Leader, seeing what had happened to Kwaku Ohene Djan, concluded that the rambo-style of arrest did not engender peace and might lead to protests, which would not augur well for the work of the BNI.
“So he went out of his way to ensure that certain arrangements were made so that people were not picked up in that manner,” Mr Awuah explained.
