Reports also showed that Gifty Oware-Mensah was set to present herself to the National Intelligence Bureau (NIB) for investigation.
According to sources, she was in Morocco with the female national team in her capacity as Chairperson of the Management Committee. It is also claimed that she planned to return to Ghana with the team and make herself available for accountability.
Gifty Oware-Mensah has been heavily implicated in the NSS ghost name scandal.
