Gifty Oware-Mensah released after NIB interrogation over NSS Probe

Following an interrogation by the National Investigations Bureau (NIB), the former Deputy Executive Director of the National Service Scheme (NSS) has been released after being briefly detained on Friday, March 7.

She was questioned in connection with an ongoing investigation into alleged irregularities within the NSS.

The specifics of her involvement in the probe remain unclear, but sources indicate that the investigation is centered on suspected malpractices, including a ghost names scandal.

Authorities have not yet provided an official statement on her role, though further questioning may occur as the investigation continues.

Earlier, her legal team had issued a statement refuting claims that she had fled the country amidst the investigation.

Her lawyers clarified that she has remained in Ghana and has no plans of leaving the country. The statement explained that she took a short trip abroad following the 2024 general elections, exercising her right to travel.
