Supreme Court Adjourns Injunction Application Against Chief Justice’s Removal Process

The Supreme Court of Ghana has adjourned indefinitely the hearing of an injunction application aimed at halting the ongoing process for the potential removal of Chief Justice Gertrude Araba Esaaba Sackey Torkornoo.
