Humble Soul and Shantel’s Custody Case Postponed to January 2027 After New Judge Fails to Show Up

The custody case involving Ghanaian TikToker Humble Soul and Shantel has been postponed to January 29, 2027, after the newly assigned judge did not sit on the scheduled day. The case was called at the Kasoa District Court, but the judge who was supposed to hear it failed to appear, leaving the parties with no choice but to wait for a new date. The adjournment means the matter will now drag into the new year.

According to Humble Soul’s lawyer, the delay happened because the previous judge sat throughout the legal vacation and has now proceeded on leave. As a result, a new judge has been appointed to take over the case. However, on the day the case was called, the new judge did not sit, forcing the court to adjourn the matter to January 29, 2027.

The explanation from the lawyer sheds light on how court schedules and judge assignments can affect cases. When a judge goes on leave, a new judge must be assigned, and that transition can cause delays. For the parties involved, this means more waiting and uncertainty, especially in a custody matter that touches on the welfare of a child.

The case has attracted public attention because of the personalities involved. Humble Soul, a popular TikToker, and Shantel have been in the news over the custody dispute, and their followers have been waiting to see how the court will handle it. The postponement to 2027 is likely to frustrate those hoping for a quick resolution, as it pushes the matter far into the future.

For ordinary Ghanaians following the case, the lesson is that court processes can be slow and unpredictable, especially when judges are reassigned or go on leave. The parties will now have to wait until January 29, 2027, to continue the case. Until then, the custody matter remains unresolved, and both sides will have to prepare for the next sitting with the new judge.
