Supreme Court of Ghana building
The Minority Leader in Parliament, Alexander Kwamena Afenyo-Markin, has alleged that during the vetting of Ghana’s Chief Justice, Justice Paul Baffoe-Bonnie, a Supreme Court judge threatened the Deputy Minority Whip and Member of Parliament (MP) for Weija-Gbawe, Jerry Ahmed Shaib.
According to the MP for Effutu, the judge reportedly told Jerry Ahmed Shaib that he was his “nemesis.”
Speaking in an interview on Movement TV on November 14, 2025, Afenyo-Markin stated that the Minority caucus decided not to pursue the matter further despite its seriousness.
He added that he is not intimidated by political threats or fears over the possible collapse of his businesses.
“When we were doing the vetting, a Supreme Court judge threatened Jerry Ahmed Shaib.
He used a word that you are my nemesis and told Jerry straight to his face. We didn’t want to press on with such issues,” he said.

Afenyo-Markin further revealed that he has personally received numerous threats, including suggestions that his law firm would collapse and that judges would rule against him in court because of his political stance.
“For me, I have received a lot of threats. People even said my law firm will collapse and that when I go to court, judges will rule against me.
“But I said, for court, I will go. If a judge feels that because I have spoken my mind, he or she will rule against me, let them do it JB Danquah didn’t think about himself he fought for the country,” he added.
