The research assistant at the office of late President, Jerry John Rawlings who was arrested by the Bureau of National Investigations (BNI) has been released.
The staffer was arrested on Thursday, 20th November, 2020 by personnel of the security agencies for yet-to-be disclosed reasons.
Not even complains from her family members could deter the BNI from effecting the arrest.
Barbara is part of a team of staffers being sought over issues relating to the death of the former President.
Her Dansoman residence was raided by over 20 security operatives on Thursday morning.
The wardrobe and other belongings in the house had also been overturned during the search.
Information suggests that the operatives were in search of information in the possession of the late former President’s staffers including manuscripts of his yet to be published memoirs.
A friend of the staffer said: “I am aware that she was invited for the questioning, and I am aware that she is home now, and she is safe. All we know is that she was invited by the BNI for questioning and now she is home. She was not manhandled. She is fine”.
Former President Jerry John Rawlings died on November 12, 2020, at the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital.
