The most absurd thing any sane person would ever do is threaten the lives of Supreme Court judges—because that’s a call to be cited for contempt.
And as expected, Ghana’s Supreme Court has cited owners of Montie Fm, the two panelists-Alistair Nelson and Godwin Ako Gunn who allegedly threatened their lives as well as the host of Montie Fm’s infamous political talk show-Mugabe for contempt.
The judges say they’ve issued a warrant for the above persons to appear before the court and face contempt charges.
Alistair Nelson and Godwin Ako Gunn threatened to finish the Supreme Court judges if they made any judgment against the Electoral Commission in the ongoing Abu Ramanda court case challenging the validity of the voters’ register.
Citi Fm says;
The two commentators are said to have been angered by the court’s orders for the EC to submit all the names of person who registered with NHIS cards prior to the 2012 elections last week.
One of the panelists on the programme is reported to have said: “I know where the judges live in Accra, I can show you. I know their quarters, the Supreme Court judges. I also know the High Court judges. Yes, I’m telling you, God has a way to show…If they like, they should bring it on. It will start in their residences, I’m telling you, in their neighborhood. When we finish them, then it will be over.
Then we will come and rule our nation because they don’t wish the nation well. So they have to go. We will see them off to return to where they came from. So that those of us who wish the nation well will take control of the nation and rule it. So they should sit there, and feel that they are Supreme Court judges so…Look, the EC is insulated, article 45. Go and check. You cannot do what you are doing there. You Supreme Court judges sitting there, what do you do for Ghana?
Look at your judges accepting bribes, goats and GH¢100 and others. Are you not ashamed? Senior judges on the bench, by this time all of you should have resigned because of what your juniors were doing. Are you not ashamed?”
Though Nelson has come out to apologize—the Supreme Court doesn’t seem to care about his apology.
Listen to the below audio of the threats to the Supreme Court judges…
