The Supreme Court has summoned two political pundits, Alistair Nelson and Godwin Ako Gunn, who threatened the lives of justices of the Apex Court.

The Chief Justice Mrs Georgina Theodora Wood announced the summon, Tuesday during hearing on the controversial voter's register case brought before the court by PNC's Abu Ramadan.

The owner of Montie FM, the network on which the two activists made the comment as well as the host of the show, Salifu Maase are all expected to appear before the Supreme Court.

According to the Chief Justice they will show reason why the court should not hold them in contempt for the comments they made.

Messers Nelson and Gunn were alleged to have threatened the lives of the Supreme Court judges during a political discussion program on June 29, 2016, a day to the commemoration of the 30th Anniversary of the Matyres Day in Ghana when three judges were abducted and brutally murdered. 

The two threatened to "finish" the judges they accuse do not want peace in the country.

While at it, the host looked on in agreement, and thanked the two panelists for their threatening comments.

However, the comments by the two have been widely condemned by many Ghanaians with some asking for punitive measures to be taken against them.

Allistair Nelson has since apologised for his comments whilst Ako Gunn has denied culpability for the comments made. According to him, he did not make any such threatening comment, even though audio recordings suggested he was on the show that same day and made similar comments.

Critics who were witnesses to the contempt charges against the NPP's Sammy Awuku, NDC's Stephen Atubiga and the jailing of the NPP's Ken Kuranchie during the election petition hearing have been wondering why the Supreme Court has been silent on the recent threatening attacks by the two NDC panelists

It appears the Supreme Court has heard the cries of the critics and has summonded the two, including the owner of the station as well as the host.
