Addo-Danquah was appointed boss of the Economic and Organised Crime Office in January 2022.
The FBI has lauded her and the office in the past for their efforts to combat organised crime.
However, she faced criticism for handling some corruption-related cases, like the Cecilia Dapaah scandal.
EOCO was compelled to deny claims from the Office of the Special Prosecutor that it is reluctant to probe alleged corruption by the former Sanitation Minister.
Mahama removes Tiwaa Addo-Danquah from EOCO
YEN.com.gh reported in January that President John Mahama terminated Addo-Danquah's appointment as the Economic and Organised Crime Office’s Executive Director.
She was to be reassigned to the Ghana Police Service in a move to reinvigorate the agency and address public concerns over its efforts in high-profile financial crime cases.
The move to change Addo-Danquah's position came after some assailants stormed the Economic and Organised Crime Office in Accra and destroyed a bust in her honour.
