It Is a Monstrous Lie" – Thaddeus Sory Responds to CJ Probe Allegations

Accra, Ghana – Top Knowledge TV | Legal & Governance Desk

Renowned Ghanaian lawyer, Thaddeus Sory, has issued a strong rebuttal to allegations linking him to unethical conduct in the ongoing probe concerning the Chief Justice. In a sharply worded statement released on Monday, Sory described the accusations as “a monstrous lie,” asserting his innocence and reaffirming his commitment to ethical legal practice.

The claims emerged amid national debate surrounding the formation of a committee to investigate the possible removal of the Chief Justice. Some reports and public commentary suggested that Mr. Sory may have been involved in influencing the process or had inside knowledge that compromised the neutrality of the proceedings.

However, Sory was unequivocal in his response, stating:

“I categorically deny any involvement in the matter in question. These claims are not only false but intentionally crafted to tarnish my reputation and distract from the real issues at hand.”

He also emphasized that his professional record and longstanding legal career have been built on credibility, and any attempt to associate him with impropriety in such a sensitive matter is both unfortunate and defamatory.

Legal observers note that Sory’s response adds a new layer to the controversy surrounding the probe into the Chief Justice, which has already drawn widespread attention over concerns of potential bias and conflict of interest in the investigative committee.

Several legal associations and civil society groups have called for calm and due process, urging all parties to allow the constitutional process to run its course while respecting the rule of law and individual reputations.

With public interest in the matter intensifying, Sory’s declaration may serve to galvanize calls for transparency and fairness in the Chief Justice probe while also highlighting the reputational risks high-profile professionals face in politically charged legal matters.
