Suspend Chief Justice Torkornoo, at a press conference in Accra on Wednesday, June 25, 2025, claimed the choice of the venue for the hearing of the three petitions for her removal, the Adu Lodge, was deliberately selected to intimidate her.
According to her, the Adu Lodge featured very prominently in the planning of the murder of three High Court Judges, and her uncle, Major Sam Acquah, on June 30, 1981, and was chosen for her 'trial' to make her "feel insecure". "Was Adu Lodge chosen for this inquiry to make me feel insecure?
I think so.
And I continue to hold the view that there is no reason to hold a quasi-judicial hearing behind the high walls of Adu Lodge," she said.
