Why the two were detained
According to Captain Koda, the BNI had invited him to their office, where items taken from the residence of Captain Koda were to be returned to him. The BNI had asked him to come along with Nana Addo's Photographer and Bodyguard.
"Our lawyers asked them not to fill the personality profile form because they were not suspects and so when we went there yesterday, they asked us if we still stand by our decision not to fill the forms and we said yes. Then they said if the two will not fill the forms, they will be detained but I can go home," he narrated.
