Gertrude Torkornoo, the suspended Chief Justice, has sued Ghana in the ECOWAS Court.
Human rights breaches have been alleged by the suspended Chief Justice in her court case.
Justice Srem Sai, the Minister of Justice and Deputy Attorney General, announced this development on his Twitter page.
“I can confirm that the Chief Justice Her Ladyship, Justice Gertrude Torkornoo, has filed another court case, this time, at the ECOWAS Community Court in Abuja, Nigeria, against the Republic,” he wrote.
“In the case, which was filed on July 4, Her Ladyship repeated the same allegations of human rights violations which are currently pending determination before our Supreme Court and, also, before our High Court in respect of the ongoing removal processes,” he continued.
He says that Her Ladyship basically contends that she “has effectively been removed from her official capacity without a final determination, impairing her right to function and serve in a position she was constitutionally appointed to” by being suspended.
