The indicted senior police officer in the cocaine-turned-baking soda case, DSP Gifty Mawuenyegah, has embarked on a hunger strike as the Bureau of National Investigations (BNI) continues to keep her in custody. A close family member confided in citifmonline. com after she was presented in court on Wednesday that the head of the Commercial Crimes Unit of the Criminal Investigations Department of the Ghana Police was psychologically traumatised when news broke that the BNI�s interim report implicated her in the swapped cocaine exhibit. The court on Wednesday morning gave the Attorney General some more time to come back to explain why the BNI is still keeping the female police officer and has since been returned to the cells of the national intelligence outfit. Her husband has told Citi News that he has not been allowed to see his wife ever since she was detained on December 29, 2011 and has been �worried about her health. � The BNI report, which was released publicly on Tuesday, said DSP Mawuenyegah and the head of the Police Narcotics Unit at the CID, DSP Kofi Adzei-Tuadzra, must be held responsible for their respective roles in the swopped cocaine. The national intelligence outfit established after its investigations into the swapped cocaine exhibit that the substance was replaced with the active assistance of and facilitation by DSP Mawuenyegah.
