Anas’ judicial corruption video shows today
The identities and modus operandi of judges involved in the bribery scandal that has rocked the nation’s justice system have been revealed.

A Justice of the High Court, for example, was able to set a hardened armed robber free for a fee of GH¢4,000 in spite of a prima facie case against the criminal.

Some judges went home with bribes in the form of goats, sheep, waakye meal for lunch, guinea fouls, foodstuff and other freebies, while others took as little as GH¢500 to throw away cases.

They met at places such as their chambers, residences, restaurants, car parks, hotels, shopping malls and other popular landmarks to collect their bribes.


Justice John Ajet-Nassam

Indicted Judges Roll Call

The exposé by investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas regarding the massive corruption in Ghana’s judiciary left some judges scrambling for cover.

Currently, 22 Circuit Court judges and Magistrates have been suspended while 12 superior court judges mostly at the High Courts are facing possible impeachment for corruption.

The twelve High Court judges who have been exposed big time by Anas’ undercover operations include Justices Kofi Essel Mensah, Charles Quist, Paul Uuter Dery, John Ajet-Nassam and Ernest Obimpeh.

The rest are Justices Mustapha Habib Logoh, Yaw Ansu-Gyeabour, Ayisi Addo popularly called Saddam, Mohammed Iddrisu, Felix Yaw Badu, Ivy Heward Mills and Kwame Ohene Essel.

Lower Courts

The names of some of the suspended 22 lower court judges have been given as Alex Obeng Asante, a judge called Azumah, Courage Ofori-Afriyie, Emmanuel Kofi Sonu and Florence Otoo.

The rest are Isaac Akwantey Bright, Kaakyire Attah-Owusu, Michael Boamah Gyamfi, Samuel Ahiabor, Samuel Walker and William Baffoe.

Resignation Attempts

The Judicial Council has already blocked resignation attempts by several judges at the centre of the bribery scandal and rather referred them to a disciplinary committee.

Reports say the Judicial Council and the office of the Chief Justice refused to accept the resignation of Justice Ajet-Nassam.

However, Justice Ajet-Nassam is said to have handed in his official vehicles and other state accoutrements in his possession yesterday.


Justice Charles Quist

Sudden Sickness

Some of the judges implicated in the scandal have suddenly taken ill and are alleged to have dashed to hospitals for treatment upon hearing the news.

Justice Obimpeh for instance was said to be currently on admission at a private hospital in Accra, while Justice Quist has reportedly suffered a mild stroke since news of the scandal hit the media.

Official Portfolios

Until their covers were blown, most of the ‘corrupt’ judges were assigned high-profile cases.

Justice Quist was the judge who jailed then NPP MP for Bawku Central, Adamu Dramani Sakande and handled the botched Assin Central NPP MP Kennedy Ohene Agyapong’s ‘Genocide’ Trial.

He initially operated from High Court 21 (Chief Justice’s Court) and was later moved to High Court 13 on the 28th February Road Courts popularly called Cocoa Affairs Court.

Justice Ajet-Nassam was the judge who controversially set free NDC financier Alfred Agbesi Woyome in the GH¢51 million judgement debt debacle, setting tongues wagging in the country.

He operated from the Financial Court 2 which was later moved to Cocoa Affairs.

He is said to be the representative of the Synagogue Church Of All Nations (SCOAN), the church established by maverick Nigerian Prophet T.B. Joshua, in Ghana.

Justice Essel Mensah operated from the Human Rights Court, while Justice Paul Dery who was once with the Human Rights Court and Fast Track Court 3 was transferred to Sekondi in the Western Region not long ago.

Justice Obimpeh is at the Lands Court and handled some aspects of the controversial Achimota land case while Justice Habib Logoh, currently with the Fast Track Court, was the judge who sentenced hardened criminal Johnson Kombian to death for killing a policeman.

Justice Ivy Heward Mills, who rose through the ranks, was at Cape Cost and is reported to have been transferred to Sekondi-Takoradi recently while Justice Ayisi Addo was stationed in Tamale.

However, it was unclear which stations Justices Yaw Badu and Mohammed Iddrisu were.
