Kumasi-based lawyer Kwasi Afrifa, the man at the center of the $5 million bribe allegation against the Chief Justice, Kwasi Anin Yeboah has maintained his claims.
Lawyer Afrifa, when he honoured an invitation to the Police CID, insisted that his former client, Ogyeedom Obranu Kwesi Atta VI, told him that he had been asked by the Chief Justice to pay an amount of $5 million as bribe in order to obtain a favorable judgement in a matter which was before the Supreme Court.
The Chief Justice had claimed the allegation was bogus, but on Monday, July 19, the Lawyer Afrifah voluntarily stormed the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service (GPS) and presented what is believed to be his basis for the allegation.
After the almost six-hour closed-door interactions, lawyer Afrifah stood his ground and told journalists that he had not done anything wrong in making such a serious allegation.
Obviously confident about his basis for the allegations, he said: “I have not done anything wrong. If you look at the accusations against me, I have given my response. The response is now public knowledge, what else can I say?”
Meanwhile, Lawyer Akoto Ampaw who was also implicated in the allegations made by Kwasi Afrifa has denied the allegations, making his own position on the matter public.
The matter is still under investigation.
