Former Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Godfred Yeboah Dame, has taken aim at his successor, Dr Dominic Ayine, over the decision to discontinue the high-profile criminal prosecution of defunct uniBank founder Dr and seven others.
In a statement issued via Facebook on Tuesday, July 29, 2025, Godfred Dame criticised Dr Ayine's use of a nolle prosequi, a formal notice to abandon prosecution, insisting that the move lacked transparency and legal grounding.
Dr Ayine, on July 28, 2025, had justified the decision by citing legal hurdles in pursuing the case and suggested that progress had been made in recovering assets belonging to the accused.
But Dame questioned those claims, accusing his successor of misrepresenting the facts. "Dr Ayine ought not to mislead the public into thinking that through some unprecedented genius, he has recovered assets or money for the State," Dame stated.
