The Chief Justice is probably part of the cartel.
The snr witch hunter has taken over the wheel of the witch hunting car. This Akuffo Addo and his bunch of criminals have taken Ghana's democracy fifty years backwards.Like I keep quoting, the worse form of persecution is that ...

LGBT is part of Ghanaian culture and values.
This is part of the illness of LGBT. You even promote it where it is not needed.
Any sex orientation that promotes itself is not natural. Shun it and make sure there are laws to stop this diabolical promotion.
You have mental issues.
The chief justice is living up to her kangaroo calling, nobody should be surprised at what comes next.
For how long will you trust politicians? Psalm 62:8 says “Trust in Him at all times, you people: pour out your heart before Him. God is a refuge for me”. DON'T TRUST Politicians, THEY ARE LIARS, DEMONS AND OCCULTS. THEY A ...

Perfectly agree with you.
SHE HAS NO SHAME. SHE DEEPLY COMPLICIT IN THE WHOLE SCHEME OF MANIPULATING THE FACTS. BUT IT WILL SURELY NOT WORK BY GRACE OF GOD.
The CJ and Dame have destroyed the image of the judiciary with this shameful conduct, who does this?
I mean you argue before a panel then another panel of judges will determine the case?
@Alfred, The ways of this Chief Justice will end in tears!! She has betray trust and abandon fair trial and justice for the benefit of the regime
She has assumed new title roles as the thief justice
The fool will be the last to know. She is now the leader in that criminal cartel organised by that Odame boy.
@Kofi Melchior, the CJ is a fool

The Chief Justice is indeed as vindictive as Akufo-Addo!
@Samag, her tenure is numbered -- it's just a matter of time!!! The CJ is a disgrace
@Samag, her days are numbered in shame and in humiliation
This Opuni's case has really shed light on the reason some corrupt judges were murdered in the past. Akufo Addo has retrogressed our Justice system. What a pity! But the ramification of this act will be felt by the culprits. ...

@Game Changer, this Chief Justice is burning the judiciary for partisan patronage -- but time wiil tell
Women like TORKONU are the reasons why women will not rise in our politics. You got your job by sucking the d*ck of the president in the bathroom. Such a shameless woman
That witch Gertrude Torkornoo is ten times worse than Anim Yeboah. It appears she just came to introduce her own law books and her own legal doctrine. These matemeho guys are the cause of our problems in this country.
A prostitute portraying as a church girl. This is what you do when you get your appointment by sleeping with appointing authorities. A disgrace to womanhood.
Gertrude
Torkornoo it appears you have no fear of God, being a CJ does not mean you can do what you like in your courts, there are legal principles that every lawyer is subjected to, if you mess up God will deal with you s ...

@Kwame A, Chief Justice has been abandoned by God for our vengeance!!

Ghanaians will never learn.
Lessons from the 1979 era have been thrown to the dogs. This is why multiparty democracy is not good for Ghana.
This CJ is very evil God shall punish her and her generation. Why is the case treated like this? Our justice system is corrupt and unfair. We need a total overhaul in the entire judiciary. JM should have this in mind. Dr Opun ...

The CJ is in the pocket of Godfred Dame, the only way we can stop this chief injustice is to vote npp out and I can assure you she will vanish
She is in his bed as well. They sleep with her like asylum down slay Queens. That is how she got the job and that is how she must maintain it.
The Chief Justice is evil, she is doing all this nonsense with her bitterness towards the NDC because her uncle was part of those who were murdered with some judges in the 80.
She so evil that Satan even gets shocked by her ...

This Chief Justice is the worst CJ Ghana has ever had!
That woman is NPP to the bone!
@Ralph, oh yes...she's going down as the worst CJ in the 4th Republic!! She's a joke
Shameless Chief Justice, do the right thing and stop being a poodle.
The Chief Justice is an embarrassment to the judiciary!
She's showing how biased she is!
@Asante, this Chief Justice is funny la

They doing everything possible to find fault were the isn't any. As for O'dummy, we all know he is an errand boy, without a mind of his own, but for the CJ to also assume the position a poodle, is very shameful.
Our Chief Justice has finally joined the witch-hunting of Opuni and Agongo.
She is as vindictive as Akufo-Addo
Inshallah, No amount of Machinations will succeed against the Righteous.
The Kangaroo Justice System is back courtesy Chief Justice Gertrude Torkonu.
That woman is the Ghana's worst CJ!
Confidence in the judiciary is at an all-time low.The happenings of the 80's are still fresh in our minds.

MADAM CJ, WHY DO YOU EMBARRASS YOURSELF AND THE ENTIRE JUDICIARY? THIS IS SO UNPROFESSIONAL OF YOUR CONDUCT THAT PUT OUT THERE AS A TERRIBLE HUMAN BEING. ARE YOU A WITCH OR GRANDDAUGHTER OF SATAN?
What a shame this government has put our judicial system into
The wheels of Justice grind slowly. No amount of judicial gymnastics will cover the truth. Dr Opuni did very well for cocoa farmers and Cocoboard. Shame on you madam Cheif justice

Shame on the CJ
This lady chief justice is just a total disgrace to Ghana n a nightmare to all the schools she attended including Wghs

It feels sad to be a Ghanaian, a country where liars has replace truth.
Oh mother Ghana.
Opuni please don't worry time will tell.
God is in great control.
The illegalities perpetuating by the NPP chief justice and AG should be called to order or they should take it as loan.
We're watching keenly.
A judge wanted a fresh start, madam you hurriedly transfered him to Kumasi. Now a judgement is to be given and you have hijacked it . You are on notice

The so called learned people and their party can’t even prosecute a simplest case in court. Talk is cheap and theory & practice are two different things

Looking at what has transpired in this case and the happening for the last years; I should be worried if I am an appointee of this government.

What are they afraid of? What has Dr. Opuni done to them? These criminals were presented from milking the country dry by Dr Opuni hence this ungodly treatment. Some people would have to answer shortly.
This chief Justice would not leave long is she continue on this path. She is storing curses for the next generation. God hate injustice. He punishes severely. If she is a actually a tongue speaking christian then I doubt even ...

WE'VE NOT HAD A SUPREME COURT IN GHANA SINCE AKUFO ADDO BECAME PRESIDENT. IT HAS SINCE BECOME THE LEGAL TEAM OF THE NPP.
SOMEDAY SOON, THE LEGAL TEAM OF THE NPP DISGUISED AS THE SUPREME COURT SHALL BE MADE TO ANSWER FOR THEIR MISDEEDS.
WILL BE WRONG IF CJ TORKENOO, GODFREY BODAMFO DAME AND KOTEBOTO ANIN YEBOAH ARE LINED UP AT TESHIE RANGE AND SHOT?
WILL IT BE WRONG
CJ Torkonoor is in bed with Akufu Addo government
She should know power is not permanent
Where is Anim Yeboah today
This is so so disgraceful, I feel sad for Ghana
Eeeeeeeei, are we in the animal kingdom?
lol, this evil woman has no shame, she cannot even polish her dubious actions small
Such a disgrace
Always skewing processes against Dr. Opuni; the world has seen the truth. A bad case indeed.
I urge the Dr Opuni to take this case to the international court of justice. That is the only place you can receive fair hearing.
Eiiii tokunu
Why are we bent on imprisoning this man? Is it not a shame that this case has run for almost 8 years and still nothing found and we are still wasting tax payers money?
There is one thing so clear, under Akufo Addo, the court is not blind. It is very bias without shame. The president has succeeded in turning the court into his persecution chamber. It is sad.
The criminal NPP judges have destroyed the country.
Why is the NPP govt hell bent to mistreat and persecute Opuni with all these sham actions? Who amongst the NPP did this man 'cross' in the past koraa? eeish! As3m b3n koraaa ni!?
Hmmm NPP'S regime Chief Justice... doing everything to please her govt without any respect for law and justice
This Chief Justice is childish and immature. She is dancing with a serpent (NPP) misleading her into shame and disgrace
The chief justice has proven to be very bias.
Nobody should take her serious again as a neutral arbiter
This woman is even more dangerous and wicked than predecessor. But whether likes it or not, there is no way their evil plan is going to see the light of day. God will definitely free OPUNI and Agongo...
Whilst I abhor the Courts, I also think the law of Karma is hitting Opuni very hard. He never knew that this was coming when he was at Food an Drug Board, and he caused the death and arrest of some people. He will pay for it ...

I still remember the killing of the three high court judges. When you do things like this why won't someone kill you? I sometimes feel they deserve what they got and some others will also get what they deserve.

There was once judges killing in Ghana history.
Everything shows that there is a grand scheme against Dr. Opuni but all of the people behind should note that, death is the ultimate of all.
They should just wait unless they run from the country.
