upreme Court adjourns injunction application against CJ’s removal to May 6

The Supreme Court has adjourned the hearing of an injunction application challenging the procedure initiated by President John Dramani Mahama for the potential removal of Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo to May 6, 2025. The adjournment followed an announcement by the Presiding Judge, Prof Henrietta Mensah Bonsu, who disclosed that a member of the panel was unavailable. The case was filed by Old Tafo Member of Parliament, Vincent Ekow Assafuah, who is contesting the constitutional process initiated by President Mahama after receiving three petitions seeking the Chief Justice’s removal from office. Mr. Assafuah contends that Chief Justice Torkornoo should have been given an opportunity to respond to the allegations before the President proceeded to consult the Council of State, as required under Article 146(6) of the 1992 Constitution. He argues that bypassing this step infringes upon her right to a fair […]

Why soccer might be Sweden’s way out of a gang crime crisis

Every Saturday night, deep in the heart of Gottsunda—a suburb on the outskirts of Uppsala, Sweden’s fourth-largest city—an unusual kind of football match takes place. Organized by Robert Wirehag, a local pastor and former youth player for Swedish club IK Sirius, these weekly games are more than just sport. They’re an intervention. Uppsala, known historically as a calm university town located about 70 kilometers (44 miles) from Stockholm, seems worlds apart from the energy in Gottsunda after dark. Here, instead of students and scholars, the streets are filled with boys aged 12 to 17. And according to Wirehag, they all have one thing in common: they’re potential gang recruits. “Why? Because they live in a specific suburb in the outer part of the city,” Wirehag explains. “All of them are at risk. Some are already involved in gangs, others are […]
