Ghanaian Judicial Scandal:-22 Judges To Be Prosecuted (See List)

Published

Ghanaian Judicial ScandalThe Attorney General is pressing charges against the 22 judges and magistrates who were indicted in the corruption scandal which has hit the judiciary of Ghana.

The judges are part of a list of 34 members of the bench who were caught on camera allegedly taking bribes to throw away cases. Twelve other high court judges are being probed by a five-member body set up by the Judicial Council.

Starr News can confirm the Attorney General’s department is almost through with the processes that will lead to the prosecution of the suspended magistrates.

According to sources, the judges are likely to be dragged to court Tuesday since a prima facie case has been made against them after watching the damning videos by ace investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas in a painstaking two-year undercover exercise.

Meanwhile, 10 out of the 12 High Court judges being investigated in the latest corruption scandal which has hit Ghana’s judiciary have up to today to respond to an impeachment petition against them.

According to a statement signed by the Judicial Secretary Justice Alex B. Poku-Acheampong, upon the judges‘ response, the Chief Justice Georgina Theodora Wood “in accordance with Article 146 (3) would determine whether there is a prima facie case against them.“

The judges in question are:

Justice Frank Opoku

Justice Charles Quist

Justice Kofi Essel Mensah

Justice Mustapha Logoh

Justice Uuter P. Dery

Justice John Ajet-Nasam

Justice Kwame Ohene Essel

Justice Ernest Obimpeh

Justice Ivy Heward-Mills

Justice Gilbet Ayisi-Addo

The statement further added two other judges Alhaji Mohammed Ahmed Mustapha and Yaw Ansu-Gyeabuor have since retired hence “the attention of the president has been drawn to this fact. In view of their status as retired Justices, the two are not subject to the impeachment proceedings provided under Article 146 of the 1992 Constitution.“

Plantashun Boiz attempted reunions failed because I wasn’t invited, says Blackface

Blackface, the Nigerian dancehall singer, says Plantashun Boiz, a defunct music group, multiple attempts to reunite failed because he was not included.

Formed in 2000 with 2Baba and Faze, Plantashun Boiz disbanded in 2004 but briefly reunited in 2007 for an album.

In a recent episode of the ‘Curiosity Made Me Ask’ podcast, the host asked Blackface if there was any chance that the group might come back together.

The singer disclosed that his colleagues had attempted to reunite without him but were unsuccessful.

“Without me, they have tried and they have failed. Many times. You saw them in all those shows that they were going,” he said.

“They tried but they failed. But what I must say is I’m the plantation. So let it be known. Forget the fake memo that they spread before.”

In September, Blackface called for the reunion of the defunct music group.

He urged fans to join the mission, emphasising that “unity is strength, not division”.

“My people oya make una talk put mouth for this matter! We are on a mission for world peace and it’s not a small-time thing,” he said in pidgin English.

Since 2015, Blackface constantly tackled 2Baba for recording 2004 hit ‘African Queen’ which he claimed he wrote.

In 2017, he argued that 2Baba “sabotaged” his career in the music industry.

Despite feud, Peter Okoye celebrates Paul on 43rd birthday

Peter ‘Mr P’ Okoye, the Nigerian singer, has celebrated Paul ‘Rudeboy’ Okoye, his twin brother, on their 43rd birthday amid their ongoing feud.

The twin brothers have been in the public eyes since their second fallout in August.

They had their first rift in 2017 which led to the dissolution of Psquare, their music brand. Though they reunited in November 2021, their reconciliation was short-lived.

Paul recently revealed another fallout, accusing Peter of orchestrating his arrest by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

Peter, however, denied the allegations and accused Jude Okoye, their older brother, of diverting millions of dollars from their joint account into a secret company.

Responding to the accusations, Jude said he had done everything possible, even “sacrificing himself,” to mend the rift between his brothers.

In an Instagram post on Monday, Peter shared several photos showcasing their growth over the years.

He also celebrated their birthday while wishing himself as well as his twin brother more wins.
