'Frivolous' suit against Woyome dismissed

The Supreme Court has thrown out a suit filed by one Abdulai Yusif Fanash Muhammed with which he prayed the highest court of the land to reverse its own ruling

 

This followed the withdrawal of the suit by the applicant due to views by the Supreme Court Judges showing the entire case brought before them was frivolous.

The applicant went to court in December last year to seek a review in the case where former Attorney General Martin Amidu secured a court judgment in 2014 ordering government to retrieve the controversial fifty one million cedis judgment debt paid to Alfred Woyome for consultancy services claimed to have been rendered during the building of some stadia ahead of the 2008 AFCON held in the country.

President John Mahama told journalists at the Flagstaff House on January 12 that Abdulai Muhammed’s action frustrated processes by the AG to retrieve the money from Mr Woyome.

The latest ruling by the Supreme Court paves the way for the Attorney General and Minister of Justice start processes towards confiscating Mr Woyome’s assets and auctioning them off to defray the cost.
