Thaddeus Sory a lawyer for one of the petitioners seeking the removal of Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo has issued a stern warning to the former Attorney General Godfred Dame.
According to Thaddeus Sory, the next knock by him will not be a gentle one but it will land like a sledgehammer.
He warned Dame to stop throwing tantrums, threatening a harder response if the behaviour continued.
His comments come on the heels of Godfred Dame accusing the NDC government of politicising the removal process of the Chief Justice, citing the petitioners’ legal team, Sory, Tsatsu Tsikata, and Oliver Barker-Vormawor, as evidence of NDC bias.
Godfred Dame on JOY FM stated, “If there are any group of people who have politicized this process it is the NDC government. Look at the band of lawyers representing the petitioners. Mr. Tsatsu Tsikata, Mr Thaddeus Sory a lawyer who has gone on record as representing all NDC figures in the past 8 years, and who is very much associated with the NDC, Oliver Barker- Vormawor a young man who worked with President Mahama in his office.”
Reacting to Godfred Dame’s statement Thaddeus Sory labelled the former AG as a cry Baby who needs another knock and each time he refuses to heed the lesson from the previous knock, the next knock must be harder.
In a Facebook post on May 23, 2025, Sory refuted Dame’s allegations saying, “You were appointed Deputy Attorney-General by former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, hardly a coincidence. That appointment itself was incongruous. Your elevation to Attorney-General was even more so.
“Do you recall the host of card-carrying NPP lawyers who surrounded you, not as a private legal practitioner, but as Attorney-General, during the Supreme Court proceedings on the vacant seats case?
“And yet, without any shred of moral scruple, you allege that I represent an individual (Dan Ofori) solely because I am NDC-affiliated? Even though I represented this client long before the suspended Chief Justice was elevated to the Court of Appeal?” he questioned.
Sory further wrote, “As I once asked: how did your legal acumen suddenly improve just because you became Attorney-General? Now that the mystique of that office has left you, you cling to a 3-2 loss as some kind of moral victory, because at least it wasn’t unanimous.
“Let me say this clearly: stop the tantrums. The next “knock” may not be a gentle tap. It will land like a sledgehammer… In a hard cast like manner, don’t be silly…” he wrote.
