Blakk Rasta slams Chief Justice Torkornoo
Ghanaian reggae musician Blakk Rasta slammed Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo during his recent 3FM radio show.

Boateng under fire for tampering with bail evidence
The courts heard new claims against Angela Adjei Boateng last Friday. She allegedly tried to hide evidence when she learned police had arrested her husband. Deputy Attorney General Justice Srem Sai told everyone that Angela scattered suitcases full of money right after finding out about her husband Kwabena Adu-Boahene going to jail.

They believe letting either person out creates two big problems: First, they might run away before trial, and second, they could mess with more evidence needed for the case. Justice Srem Sai mentioned these concerns directly...
