The controversy surrounding Chief Justice Gertrude Araba Esaaba Sackey Torkornoo has escalated further, as the Office of the President confirms the receipt of two additional petitions seeking her removal from office.
This development brings the total number of petitions filed against the country's top judicial officer to five.
The latest submissions, whose authors remain undisclosed, follow three earlier petitions lodged on February 14 and March 17, 2025.
Although the details of the allegations remain confidential under Article 146 of the 1992 Constitution, insider sources suggest the petitions cite claims of misconduct and abuse of office.
