Thaddeus Sory is a renowned lawyer
Renowned private legal practitioner, Thaddeus Sory, has refuted the allegations contained in a petition submitted by a Ghanaian citizen, Alfred Ababio Kumi, calling for the dissolution of the five-member committee probing the removal of the embattled Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo.
The petitioner and former parliamentary aspirant on the ticket of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Alfred Ababio Kumi, cited allegations of misconduct in his petition, which he believes could compromise the integrity of the inquiry.
Kumi alleged that on May 15, 2025, after the committee’s inaugural sitting, Justices Pwamang and Adibu-Asiedu, along with Supreme Court Justice Yonni Kulendi, were seen dining with Thaddeus Sory, counsel for petitioner Daniel Ofori, at Santoku Restaurant in Accra’s Airport Residential Area.
He claimed they were overheard discussing matters related to the petition.
“The meeting between Justices Pwamang, Kulendi, and Asiedu with Thaddeus Sory clearly has tainted the integrity of the process and reduces public confidence in the process,” a report by asaaseradio.com quoted Kumi’s petition.
In response to the allegations, Thaddeus Sory, in a Facebook post on Tuesday, May 20, 2025, dismissed the claims as a “monstrous lie.”
The legal luminary firmly stated that no such meeting ever took place and urged interested parties to conduct their own investigations to verify the accuracy of the allegations.
“It is a monstrous lie. No such meeting took place. It is very easy to fact check that. We know those who get justice through negotiation,” he posted on his Facebook page.
In a petition reportedly dated May 19, 2025, Kumi raised four major allegations against members of the committee, constituted under Article 146(6) of the 1992 Constitution to probe the three petitions against the embattled Chief Justice Torkornoo.
The committee, announced on April 22, 2025, comprises Justice Gabriel Scott Pwamang (Chairman), Justice Samuel Adibu-Asiedu, Daniel Yao Domelovo, Major Flora Bazwaanura Dalugo, and Professor James Sefah Dzisah.
The allegations against the five-member committee include claims of a compromising meeting with the petitioner’s counsel, conflicts of interest arising from prior judicial rulings, personal ambitions related to the Chief Justice’s position, and actions that allegedly undermine public confidence in the inquiry.
