A lecturer at the Department of Political Science, University of Ghana, Dr.
Joshua Jebuntie Zaato, has come to the defence of renowned private legal practitioner Thaddeus Sory, who has been accused of meeting with judges who are members of a committee probing a petition seeking the removal of Chief Justice Gertrude Torkonoo.
A Ghanaian citizen, Alfred Ababio Kumi, who has petitioned President John Mahama for the dissolution of the five-member committee investigating the Chief Justice's removal, has cited allegations of misconduct, which he believes could compromise the integrity of the inquiry.
According to Kumi, on May 15, 2025, following the committee's inaugural sitting, Justices Gabriel Scott Pwamang and Samuel Adibu-Asiedu, along with Supreme Court Justice Yonny Kulendi, were allegedly seen dining with Thaddeus Sory, counsel for petitioner Daniel Ofori, at Santoku Restaurant in Accra's Airport Residential Area.
