The Supreme Court has unanimously dismissed the application to prohibit the presiding judge in the Kwabena Adu-Boahene trial from further hearing the case on grounds of bias.
The 5-member panel of justices of the apex court held that the application was without merit and did not meet the requirements to prohibit the trial judge.
Addressing the media after the case was heard in court, Atta Akyea, who is the lawyer for Kwabena Adu Boahene, indicated that he is disappointed with the decision by the court.
However, he is not discouraged by the ruling, indicating that “we will see how the case will travel.”
On moving back to the court of a judge he walked out on, he said, “It doesn’t move me at all. The only persuasion a judge should have is the law. I am not going to have a banter with him, I’m not going to fight him over anything.”
On appealing the judgment, he said, “This is a tall order, but you may review, so we soldier on.”
