Nana Addo Suspends Judges Accused of Corruption

The President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has suspended four high court judges on account of ataped video by Anas Aremeyaw Anas who documented the alleged acts of corruption and bribery by the judges.

According to a statement signed by the Director of Communication for the Jubilee House, Eugene Arhin, the judges are Mr. Justice Uuter Paul Dery, Mr. Justice Mustapha Logoh, Mr. Justice Gilbert Ayisi Addo and Mr. Justice Charles Quist.

“The suspension follows the establishment of a prima facie case against the four Justices, by the Committee set up by the Chief Justice to investigate alleged acts of bribery and corruption against certain persons, including the four Justices, as contained in the 29th August, 2015 petition of Mr. Anas Aremeyaw Anas,” the statement said.
