The Attorney-General has withdrawn all charges against former Director-General of the Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT), Dr.

Ernest Thompson, along with John Hagan Mensah and Peter Hayibor, in a case involving alleged financial impropriety.

Court documents filed at the High Court (Criminal Division) in Accra confirm that the state has officially discontinued the prosecution.

The withdrawal was based on sections 59(1), 59(2)(b)(ii), and 59(5) of Act 30 of the Criminal and Other Offences (Procedure) Act, 1960, as outlined in a notice signed by the Director of Public Prosecutions, Yvonne Atakora Obuobisa.
