Fiery Facebook Feud: Sory vs Dame on Chief Justice Case
In an unlikely battlefield, Facebook has become the stage for a legal face-off between Thaddeus Sory, a seasoned legal practitioner, and Godfred Yeboah Dame, the former Attorney-General and Minister of Justice. This digital duel stems from a contentious dispute over the petitions to remove Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo from office.
The Saga Unfolds
The catalyst for this riveting exchange was a petition filed by a loyal New Patriotic Party member, Alfred Ababio Kumi, accusing Mr. Sory of holding clandestine meetings regarding the Chief Justice issue in Accra’s bustling restaurants. Sory, vehemently denying these claims, fired back with a strongly-worded Facebook post rebuffing the allegations as nothing more than a concocted tale.
Words That Packed a Punch
Sory’s robust 24-point write-up was both an indirect retort to Kumi’s claims and a direct challenge to Dame. He questioned Dame’s professional ethics by pointing out the perceived biases and imbalances in the handling of the Chief Justice case, dubbing Dame as an “Incongruous Cry Baby.”
Dame’s Calm Rebuttal
Not one to back down, Godfred Yeboah Dame took to Facebook to present his side. With a calm yet cutting tone, Dame dismissed Sory’s allegations as mere propaganda, supported by “vile falsehoods.” He instead positioned himself as a guardian of judicial independence, citing past cases where he supposedly stood against challenges without fear or favor.
Personal Jabs and Professional Integrity
Despite the heated exchange, both lawyers rooted their arguments in a professed commitment to Ghana’s judicial integrity. Sory, defending his history of bipartisan representation, asserted professionalism over partisanship. Meanwhile, Dame highlighted his contributions to safeguarding Ghana’s legal reputation on international forums.
The Public Verdict
The social media community remains divided, as does the question of whether their interactions reflect genuine commitment to justice or a personal vendetta. According to Graphic Online, the public forum continues to weigh in on this unfolding drama, echoing the broader discourse on justice and legality in Ghana.
As the digital disagreements simmer and subside, both Sory and Dame seem poised to continue their courtroom battles on all available platforms, navigating the nuanced interplay of professional duty and personal pride.
