Former Attorney General and Minister for Justice, Godfred Yeboah Dame, has taken a swipe at private legal practitioner, Thaddeus Sory, describing his constant unprovoked attacks on him as a sign of obsession and bewildering jealousy that need healing.
According to him, Mr. Sory’s predilection to comment on the slightest thing he (Dame) does or says is not lost on the public, observing that his fellow lawyer, for some time now has been expending enormous energy, time and resources to launch public attacks on him in relation to his work.
“I live in your mind rent free. Indeed, your obsession with Godfred Dame is bewildering and needs healing,” he stated.
Mr. Dame’s statement was in response to a strong-worded post Mr. Sory made on social media platform, Facebook, in which he described the former Attorney General as ‘incongruous cry baby.’
Mr. Sory, on the other hand, was responding to Mr. Dame’s suggestion that the three lawyers representing the three petitioners calling for the removal of the Chief Justice – Tsatsu Tsikata who is a known National Democratic Congress (NDC) lawyer, Mr. Sory, who is the Speaker of Parliament’s lawyer, and Oliver Barker-Vormawor, who is said to have ties with the NDC, is a clear indication that the whole process was an NDC orchestration.
Mr. Sory debunked this assertion and indicated that he is a professional who is bound by legal ethics to represent anyone who retains him, subject only to certain exceptions, adding that he had represented some New Patriotic Party (NPP) clients in the past.
He then went on to make certain allegations against Mr. Dame, including a suggestion that his legal acumen suddenly improved just because he became Attorney-General.
