Suspended Chief Justice of Ghana, Gertrude Torkornoo, has sued the government of Ghana at the Community Court of Justice of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS).

Justice Torkornoo sued the government over her suspension and the ongoing hearing on three petitions for her removal.

The embattled Chief Justice asked the Community Court for a number of reliefs, including the revocation of her suspension and a stop to the ongoing hearing on the three petitions for her removal, which were submitted to President John Dramani Mahama.

However, the relief that has caught the eye of the public the most is the demand for $10 million in compensation.
