The Minister of State for Government Communication, , has dismissed claims by suspended Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo that the choice of Adu Lodge as the venue for the hearings into the petitions seeking her removal was intended to intimidate her or carries any symbolic connection to the 1982 murder of judges.

Addressing a press conference on Wednesday, June 25, 2025, Kwakye Ofosu stated, "The attempt to link the dastardly killings of some Supreme Court judges and a military officer to this case is most disingenuous.

These governments, and President Mahama, have nothing to do with the killings of any judge.

There is absolutely no nexus between the petitions that have been brought and that unfortunate incident in our past." According to him, the Adu Lodge venue was chosen independently by the five-member committee, not by the government or President Mahama.
