Unconfirmed reports circulating in political and legal circles suggest that Chief Justice Gertrude Araba Esaaba Sackey Torkornoo has allegedly been suspended from her position. As of now, there has been no official statement from the Presidency, the Judicial Service, or the National Communications Authority confirming the suspension.
Justice Torkornoo, who has been at the center of recent petitions calling for her removal, has faced criticism from certain political quarters, sparking national debate about the independence of the judiciary and the politicization of Ghana’s legal system.
The reported suspension—if confirmed—could mark a significant turning point in the country’s judicial history, with potential implications for both governance and constitutional stability. Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin recently defended the Chief Justice, dismissing the petitions against her as “flimsy pedestrian excuses” and calling on the judiciary to stand united.
Ghanaians now await official confirmation and clarification on the matter. In the meantime, civil society groups, legal professionals, and political observers are urging calm and calling for due process to be followed.
