Captain Nkrabeah Effah-Dartey (Rtd) a Senior legal practitioner, has appealed to the judicial committee constituted to investigate some judges implicated in the judicial corruption scandal to unmask Anas Aremeyaw Anasace before he is cross-examined. Capt Effah Dartey believes Anas Aremeyaw Anas’ style of disguising himself at the Committee sittings is against the law, and insists the Chief Justice should immediately cause his arrest because he (Anas) also disguised himself and lured the judges into corruption. “I wish to have the opportunity to cross-examine him
(Anas) and trust me, he and his team will regret the day he was born. I will ask the committee to remove the mask and if they fail I will personally force them to remove it to tell us the truth” he asserted. Speaking on an Accra based radio station, the lawyer whose client is one of the accused High Court judges said he is considering suing Anas since his actions could be interpreted as calculated to trap his client, Justice Ayisi Addo.. The affected judges are Justices Francis K. Opoku, Kofi Essel Mensah, John Ajet Nasam, Ernest Obimpeh, Kwame Ohene Essel and Ivy Heward-Mills. “Their suspension follows the establishment of a prima facie case of stated misbehavior against them by the Chief Justice pursuant to Article 146(3) of the 1992 Constitution and the setting up of a committee under Article 146(4) to investigate a petition,” a statement from the Judicial Service department said. Captain Nkrabeah Effah-Dartey further maintains the footage given to the CJ does not show his client receiving any money as he sacked the Tiger Eye PI team from his home, and thus wondered why he was included in the list of suspended judges. “Regardless of the immunity granted to him (Anas), though we will not institute any action against Anas, we will have him punished in one way or another, in terms of compensation. (We will) demand massive cost because what he has done is improper, is unethical, is immoral ” the lawyer declared.
