Private legal practitioner Martin Kpebu has issued a strong reminder to the National Intelligence Bureau (NIB) regarding the constitutional requirement to either release or arraign Gifty Oware in court within 48 hours of her arrest.
According to Mr Kpebu, he had wind of the arrest of the former Deputy Executive Director of the National Service Authority, Gifty Oware, ostensibly for her role in the alleged Ghost Names scandal.
Mrs Gifty Oware returned from abroad in the course of the week to rumours that she would be arrested at the Kotoka International Airport.
Speaking on The KeyPoints with Alfred Ocansey, Kpebu emphasized that the law is clear on how long a suspect can be detaimed - 48 hours, thus not complying would amount to a breach of her rights. "We want to remind the NIB that 48 hours is 48 hours.
