President John Mahama has removed the Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo from office with immediate effect on grounds of stated misbehaviour.
This follows recommendations from a constitutional committee set up under Article 146 of the 1992 Constitution.
The decision comes barely hours after the President received the report of a committee constituted under Article 146(6) to inquire into a petition filed by Ghanaian citizen Daniel Ofori. That was only one out of the three petitions.
