The Office of Special Prosecutor (OSP) has requested that the Chief Justice (CJ) remove the His Lordship Justice Edward Twum from all cases involving the OSP pending before him.

In a Facebook post, the OSP indicated that Justice Edward Twum appears to be highly prejudiced against the Special Prosecutor.

“The OSP has requested the Chief Justice to recuse and remove His Lordship Justice Edward Twum from all cases involving the OSP pending before him.

“The request is grounded on the OSP’s well-founded belief that Justice Edward Twum appears to be highly prejudiced against the OSP and the person of the Special Prosecutor,” the OSP explained.

It continued: “Consequently, as it stands, the OSP would not and cannot be reasonably expected to be parties to proceedings before the said judge.”
