General News of Saturday, 14 November 2020Source: www.ghanaweb.comLolobi, Akpafu chiefs petition Chief Justice over ‘judicial frustration’Chief Justice Anin YeboahThe Paramount Chief of Lolobi Traditional Area, Nana Akoto Masakyi III, and Adontenhene of Akpafu Traditional Area, Nana Tetteh-Attu IV, have petitioned the Chief Justice over what they are calling ‘judicial frustration’. In the petition, a copy of which is published below, the chiefs say they have been seeking legal redress over “a gaffe” by the Justice Brobbey Commission to lump their communities into Oti Region and Buem constituency although they had made it clear that they did not want to be in Oti Region. In fact, we did NOT petition the President at all to begin with. The chiefs say that since filing their case to protest their inclusion in Oti Region, “it appears the entire judicial system has become a black hole as far as our quest for justice and fair hearing is concerned.”They want the Chief Justice, Justice Anin Yeboah, to impress on the Courts to give their cases a fair hearing and redeem Ghana’s judicial process from being compromised. “We would not surrender our dignity, our heritage of peace and harmony and basic human rights as a people to ill-motivated adventurers who have no sense of history,” the petition concluded.
