Prominent lawyer Thaddeus Sory has firmly denied allegations that he met privately with members of the committee investigating the potential removal of Chief Justice Gertrude Araba Esaaba Sackey Torkornoo.
Describing the claims as a “monstrous lie,” Sory took to Facebook to issue a public rebuttal, rejecting any suggestion of impropriety.
His response follows a petition submitted to President John Dramani Mahama by Alfred Ababio Kumi, a former New Patriotic Party (NPP) parliamentary aspirant, who has called for the dissolution of the five-member committee over claims of compromised integrity.
According to Kumi, Justices Gabriel Pwamang and Samuel Adibu-Asiedu were allegedly spotted dining with Sory at Santoku Restaurant in Accra on May 15, 2025—just hours after the committee’s first sitting. Supreme Court Justice Yonni Kulendi was also said to be present.
Kumi further alleged that members of the group were overheard discussing details of the petition, raising questions about the impartiality of the proceedings.
But in a direct and emphatic denial on Facebook, Sory wrote: “It is a monstrous lie. No such meeting took place. It is very easy to fact check that. We know those who get justice through negotiation.”
The claim and subsequent denial have sparked fresh debate about the credibility of the committee and the fairness of the process.
Sory’s public response introduces a new layer to the unfolding controversy, even as public scrutiny intensifies and pressure mounts on the presidency to address the allegations.
The five-member committee, formed on April 22, 2025, remains under the spotlight as demands grow for transparency and accountability in handling the high-profile inquiry.
