The Supreme Court has struck out a contempt case brought before it by a citizen over alleged death threats against Ghana’s judges.
Richard Asante Yeboah's case was struck out after he applied through his counsel, Gary Nimako to withdraw the case following summons by the Supreme Court, Joy News' Raymond Aquah reported, Monday.
With Asante' Yeboah's case out of the way, the Court will now have to deal with its own summons against the two radio panellists cited for inciting hatred against, and threatening to kill, justices of the Supreme Court.
The three contemnors who were summoned made an appearance to the court last week July 12.
Godwin Ako Gunn and Alistair Nelson and the host a programme on which the comments were made, Salifu Maase known as Mugabe and owners of the station however pleaded for more time to study the details of the summons. They were therefore asked to reappear on July 18.
When the case was called today, all owners of the station including Harry Zakuor who owns the frequency and three others, Edward Addo and Kwesi Kyei Atuah and Kwaku Bram-Dabi appeared before the Supreme Court.
The court is demanding that another director, Ato Ahwoi appear before it but counsel for the owners, Nana Ato Dadzie told the court he is unwell and receiving treatment in the United Kingdom.
The court has demanded a medical report as it indicates that it was not attached to an affidavit submitted by the lawyer.
