In a Facebook post, Deputy Attorney General, Justice Srem Sai said, “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.”
According to Dr. Srem Sai, “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 before our High Court with respect to the ongoing removal processes.”
He added that Her Ladyship argues that by her suspension, 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.”
