Edudzi Tameklo wades into video of alleged meeting between Thaddeus Sory, 3 judges

-

Director of Legal for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Edudzi Tameklo, has shared his perspective on a viral CCTV footage which captured an alleged meeting between lawyer Thaddeus Sory and three Supreme Court judges.

The Chief Executive Officer(CEO) of the National Petroleum Authority(NP) and lawyer, has dismissed claims the meeting was to discuss the possible removal of suspended Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo.

New Patriotic Party(NPP) member, Alfred Ababio Kumi has petitioned President John Mahama, demanding a dissolution of the five-member committee probing petitions on Justice Torkornoo’s removal.

Adenta Kumi as he is popularly known claimed that he witnessed three Supreme Court Justices—including two members of the committee—having dinner at a restaurant in Accra.

He named the individuals as the Chairman of the committee, Justice Gabriel Scott Pwamang, Justice Samuel Kwame Adibu-Asiedu, and Justice Yonny Kulendi.

Kumi claimed that the meeting occurred between 7:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. on May 15, 2025, and argued that the involvement of these individuals compromises the credibility of the committee.

However, Mr. Tameklo in a Facebook post has stated that the video tells “a completely different story” from what has been sensationally reported.
He has accused the NPP of deliberate attempt to create a false narrative to undermine the integrity of the court process.
