Chief Justice Gone Missing?

Ghanaweb reported some days ago that the Chief Justice (C.J), Mr. Justice Edward K. Wiredu, had suffered a stroke (read). Since the story was unconfirmed, a member of the Ghanaweb discussion forum - Say It Loud - decided to verify the truthfulness of the story. He visited the office of the chief justice, but no official of the judicial service was prepared to reveal his whereabouts.

The newspaper Palaver was the only media to confirmed our fears. In it's Friday edition the paper wrote: "Sources close to the family claim that Mr. C.J. is down with a massive stroke and has been receiving intensive care at the Police Hospital since last Saturday."

The govenment has so far refused to issue a statement on the whereabouts of the Chief Justice.

"Until such a time that the government comes out with a clear statement on his whereabouts, we can all assume he has been abducted by aliens" - a member of the public joked.
