You Can Be ‘GBA Methuselah’ But I’ll Jail You If You Joke – NAM-1 Judge To Kwame Akuffo, Another
[ad_1]
Justice Ernest Owusu-Dapaah, a Court of Appeal judge sitting as an additional High Court judge has for the second time warned Lawyer Kwame Akuffo to desist from showing disrespect in court, this time adding a State prosecutor to the caution.
Justice Owusu-Dapaah said he doesn’t care if the lawyer has 100 years’ experience at the Bar he will not hesitate to jail him if the disrespect in open court continues.
The judge is hearing the trial of Chief Executive Officer of Menzgold Ghana Limited, Nana Appiah Mensah popularly known as NAM 1.
Justice Owusu-Dapaah said not even President Akufo-Addo can intervene except with a presidential pardon, making an indirect reference to the family relationship between Kwame Akuffo and President Akufo-Addo.
“If you don’t understand that, you may be 100 years at the Bar but if I sit here I’m not exercising my own sovereignty but the sovereignty of Ghana. If you cannot respect that I will jail you,” he intimated.
